Let’s call them what they really are: forced birthers.
Stop and consider everything that’s entailed for a woman to give birth to a baby.
It starts off with having to pee all the time, occasionally involuntarily. Then her breasts get swollen and achy. Morning sickness kicks in next, as she pukes her guts out every day for a couple of months. That’s at one end. At the other, she gets to deal with uncomfortable constipation and painful hemorrhoids. Her libido nosedives. She waddles as she walks, and the backaches which will soon become a constant presence kick in. Leg cramps? Yup, those too. Tired all the time because she can’t sleep comfortably and she has to carry a heavy load wherever she goes. Ankles and feet swell up. Varicose veins. Random gut punches from within. Everything hurts.
This all concludes with the grand finale, a multi-hour process in which the most sensitive part of her body is slowly ripped asunder by a bowling ball being shoved relentlessly thru a tiny opening in her flesh, and it doesn’t stop no matter how loud or how long she screams. This part is invariably excruciating, sometimes crippling, and occasionally fatal.
Yes, many a woman signs up to do this voluntarily, as is her perfect right, since it’s her own body. But suppose a woman would (understandably) rather not have to endure such prolonged pain and misery. The anti-abortion religiots want to force her to do it anyway.
Let’s pull no punches here. If this 9-month program of heartless torture were being committed by a cruel military dictatorship on a helpless captive, we’d have them up on war-crimes charges in The Hague as soon as we were able to bring them to justice. Anti-abortionists are no better than medieval torturers, and arguably worse, because they’re so arrogantly smug and self-righteous about the horrors they gleefully impose on their unwilling victims.
Wait… There’s only one kid in that cell. Is that some kind of VIP cell, or was it just too difficult to draw the 50 kids the sadistic psychos in border patrol would probably stuff in there?
Those GOP rightwingers are prolife until birth, once that baby is out, they are on their own. So what if they are staving to death (take away food stamps), shot at schools(sensible gun laws, its my right to own assault weapons) convicted of a crime (let’s call for the death penalty, CP5 example). Yep. real PRO LIFE BS!
There is no such thing as a “Pro-Life” movement, and never was. At best it was only a “Pro-Birth” movement, or more accurately an “Anti-Abortion” movement. Pro-Life would imply that it is not only anti-abortion, but anti-capital punishment, and anti-war, to name just a few. I have yet to meet a true “Pro-Life” individual, and certainly never met one from the AAP (All-Aryan Party formerly known as the GOP). And for such a “Pro-Life” movement to claim “Christian values” is such a hypocritical slander as to make a Pharisee blush.
How can the same ‘pro-life’ party be ‘pro-endless-wars’, ‘anti-vaccine’, ‘anti-sex-education’, and ‘anti-contraceptives’? Shouldn’t we try to prevent unwanted pregnancy in the first place? Also, is death in war or by preventable disease not important enough?
Moreover, after the child is born, they hate if the family ends up on welfare. Hence, they also want to cut any sort of help.
If they really want to avoid abortion, then start by helping the women to control their destiny.
When folks say they’re “pro-life,” I think what they’re really implying is that they support mandatory life sentences for every person of color or who’s poor.
Obviously their PRO-LIFE philosophy doesn’t prevent them from killing people for capital punishment. The occasional killing of an innocent person is just an unfortunate oops. If it is a person of color, it doesn’t een rate that.
You will note that the guy on the outside is a guy on the outside. And white. And carrying what is probably a bible. From which, if he reads at all, he reads only (carefully) selected passages.

And, they will keep them in those Metal Wombs because Releasing them Back to their Parents would be Aborting the Punishment for being born Brown.
And you can’t have Abortions. It’s just not KKKristian.

Of course the Bible says NOTHING against abortion, but let’s make up our own religion and CALL it Christianity.
