15. That's one of my arguments to the so-called "pro-life" crowd.

You can't be, or say you are, "pro-life" if...

...you care more about your own access to massacre machines than about the lives that those massacre machines snuff out.

...you support unfettered, unregulated, wanton, reckless access to any damn guns you want.

...you deny or doubt that climate change exists, or that it's human-caused.

...you're pro-death penalty.

...you support funding cuts to programs supporting low-income families and needy children.

...you're not that concerned about the plight of our war veterans in need (meh - they volunteered!).

...you're not that concerned about reckless politicians who beat the drum for war (creating MORE veterans in need).

...you don't give a damn about the hurricane victims in Puerto Rico - who just "want everything done for them."

...you want regulations that keep us safe, keep our water clean, our food safe, and our environment protected, done away with.

...you'd rather vote for more prisons than more funding for our public schools.

...you see no reason why we need to safeguard the social safety net (for all those "lazy moochers" dontchaknow).

...you don't give a damn about the Dreamers or those "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" (meh, they should go back where they came from!) .
