17. And these so-called "pro-life" legislators seem to be also "anti-living".

Irrespective of whether the baby is wanted or not... once that baby is born, legislators (especially in NC) have done pretty much anything they can to ensure that about 90% of the babies born have a much harder life. Even worse is if that child is already born into poverty.

The list? No Medicare expansion. Earned Income Tax Credit cut. Increased Sales Taxes. Unemployment Insurance Benefits Cuts. Federal level - cut "Food Stamps".

If supporting the above is considered "pro-life" .... sorry but looks like anti-life to me. anti-choice. anti-freedom. anti-good-neighbour. anti-christian.

Pro life isn't just being from conception to just before birth. it's from conception to grave. Anyone who says they're pro life and guts and cuts programs that help people actually live (let alone thrive) are hypocrites.
