Pro-life is a myth.

The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.

It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.

It is a matter of control.

Republicans are only pro-birth, and that's only because it's an important issue for the religious right (who are actually the religious wrong).

But, once the child is born, the concept of pro-life is lost on them. In fact, you could easily argue that Republicans are anti-life because they do almost nothing to help support and protect the new-born baby and his/her mother.

Time and time again they have cut or even eliminated programs that helped parents care for their children. They are also aggressively trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.

The Republicans say they have a health care plan that will be unveiled soon, but soon never happens.
Actually they have a well-established health care plan that's been around for decades.

It's called We Don't Care.
Whenever Republicans come into power they pull this plan out, dust it off, and proceed to implement it.
It's a very simple plan. Health care exists for those who can afford it, and f**k everyone else.

Shock and awe is their “thing”.

Can’t believe a lot of them call themselves Christian Patriot Americans.

Can people do that? Do pollsters have to rely on the word of the person they speak to as to their party affiliation? Can someone give their honest opinion on a question and then identify as a member of the other party in order to give that opinion more weight?

Some people make a temporary affiliation so they can vote in the other party's primaries, etc.

It is good to see that WE are so much in agreement about this. That's a large percentage for any group to agree on an issue these days.

Democrats are pro-life and we hear ridiculous, death-cult nonsense about this crisis from the pretenders. Their mask is peeling off.

When push comes to shove, the desire to control women's reproductive rights and the oceanic fetus worship/fetish clearly indicate something other than being pro-life for them and this pandemic has been a litmus test.

a week ago posted how her business has dropped to zero and viruses has always been around and how we need to learn to live with it. I wanted to reply with something that Biden pretty much summed up Thursday, but I decided to back off. Wasn't worth it.

More dead than Vietnam. More dead than World War II... uh yeah, Voting matters.. but also, this was the Electoral College... that elected Trump. He has made this country TOXIC... Q'anon has become part of the conversation... really? This is fucking INSANITY.

I blame Rush Limbaugh. I blame FOX NEWS and RIGHT WING RADIO. Now to find out its falling in line with Putin's strategy to destroy this nation? Just how much propaganda have the Russians been feeding the Republican party to destroy their own country?

They were ready to impeach Hillary BEFORE she had even stepped a foot into the Oval Office as the new POTUS and that was over 4 deaths in Benghazi!!!! They spent tens of MILLIONS of our tax dollars on 65 hearings in the House alone investigating a bullshit case for purely political reasons alone.

They are devoid of morals or shame and hypocrites all.
