Republicans -- So, You Never Really Were "Pro-Life," Were You?

We can say it now, can’t we?

I mean, at this point it isn’t really up for debate, is it?

You can come clean now, fess up, and drop the facade:

You never really were pro-life, were you?

It’s okay, we suspected as much.

We suspected that you weren’t really burdened to protect humanity, as you cheered while families were separated at the border, as you ignored yet another bloody school shooting, as you applauded the dismantling of our healthcare system, as you turned away exhausted refugees, as you laughed during his anti-immigrant rally rants. We figured that outside of gun owners and white embryos, that you really weren’t in this to defend the living.

But now, it’s all out in the open isn’t it, friend?

When you’re stopping traffic filled with ambulances and delivery trucks, and protesting wellness protections designed to keep people from getting sick and dying, and standing opposite nurses in face masks who are literally keeping people breathing (or when you applaud people who do)—you’re showing your hand.

For all your wild histrionics and your raw-throated rally cries and your garment-rending sermons and all your impassioned social media posts about the sanctity of life—here you are in the middle of a raging pandemic, packed together like lemmings, ignoring distancing of any kind, harassing essential workers, and demanding to be allowed to infect yourselves and others—while without a trace of irony, screaming “My body, my choice!”

1. They have lost that undeserved mantle. They've also shredded their "State's Right's" argument

as well. I really don't know what grand principles Republicans will mouth going forward. They've destroyed whatever credibility this Party has had. I look forward to an ever-shrinking Republican Party becoming the minority Clown Klan that will remove them from power for decades to come.

6. Same thing with "family values".

It was always a fucking joke, but now it's obvious to anyone.

2. That would make a really good ad.

I wish the whole country could see this bunch for the hypocrites they are.

3. If they were really pro-life,

they'd be fighting for universal healthcare.

4. More of this, please. Louder so the people in the back can't help but hear it. nt
