13. I hate the term "pro life"

As if anyone who supports women's right to choose is "anti-life." Is it "pro life" to demand that women pay for burial of a fetus after an abortion or a miscarriage, as Texas Gov Abbot has done? Is it "pro life" to deny an abortion to a woman who has been raped, or a child who's a victim of incest, as many of the so-called "pro-lifers" have advocated? Or, to a woman whose life is in danger from a pregnancy, as the Catholic Church wants?

I hate, hate HATE hypocrites. And that is what these people are, no matter how "sincere" they are in their beliefs. I'm willing to bet that most of them would head to an abortion clinic if their daughter was raped, or if their wife's life was in danger.
