I mean, here are a bunch of most likely christian children, whose parents didn't use birth control, and whose parents didn't choose abortion, deciding to possibly give their kids up for adoption, just like the "sidewalk counselors" try to coerce women into doing. Yet, with all the animosity and hate inside their christian conservative hearts, they are demanding America return them to violence and possible death.
The entire christian conservative "prolife" movement is actually the antithesis of anything even remotely resembling being prolife. They're for death penalty, for endless war, for cutting food-aid, for blocking healthcare, for lower wages, for guns everywhere. Their utter hypocrisy is only outdone by their sheer stupidity.
Prolife my arse, it's ONLY and ALWAYS been about CONTROL.
