Nothing they do says protecting life. They can never be allowed to claim pro life as a moral mantle

of complete and utter lying bollocks EVER again.

Just all of this and then on top of it - every time, in the future they try to claim to be the party of pro life, they need to be reminded of what they did during Covid-19. Don't wear masks, get the kids back to school, stop financial aid to the unemployed, open up the economy, don't provide effective PPE for healthcare workers etc et al. ALL of it is anti-life. ALL of it has led to humongous amount of unnecessary infections and deaths from the virus and excess deaths in the tens of thousands- hell the far right wing hellscape of Florida has more recorded infections a day than the whole of Europe... Pro life my lily white Irish arse.

They don't really believe in any of those things, they are just political tools to use when convenient.

Trump's selection and election and enabling lay that all bare. This is about power and money.

They will fall back on these as soon as Biden takes office and any con who brings it up should laughed out of the room.

They have never been pro life.

They have always been warmongers.

They have always protected police who murder the innocent.

They have always been against health care for all.

They have always been against single mothers.

They have always been against the poor.

They are pro fetus.

That is all they have ever been.

They use their religion to destroy this country.

If there is MONEY involved, even the Roman Catholic Church stands on the belief that ZBEFs* are NOT persons. Remember this case where a Catholic hospital's defense to a wrongful death suit was that life begins at BIRTH and not before:

Lori Stodghill was 28 weeks pregnant when she went to the emergency room of St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City vomiting and short of breath, according to a court document.
She went into cardiac arrest in the lobby.

She died at age 31. Her unborn twin boys perished with her. That was New Year's Day 2006.

Stodghill, left behind to raise their then-2-year-old daughter alone, sued the hospital and its owner, Catholic Health Initiatives, for the wrongful deaths of all three.

After about two years of litigation, defense attorneys for the hospital and doctors entered an argument that shocked the widower.

They said that under state law, an embryo is not person until it is born alive, according to court documents.
