In reply to the discussion: Democrats launch scorched-earth strategy against Trump [View all]calimary
(90,110 posts)I would bet the Women's March last weekend was far larger. I would expect that we had the demonstrable majorities at the march that reflect the majorities in the population at large. More of us are pro-choice, too.
But a continuing problem I have with these people involves how
- you can't be pro-life if you're pro-death penalty.
- you can't be pro-life if you deny climate change.
- you can't be pro-life if you do things or cause things to be done that hurt or impoverish or set back those in need.
- you can't be pro-life if you try to end safe, legal, and affordable abortion services. They cut back on Planned Parenthood, drastically, in Texas. The next round of testing and statistics-keeping showed that when fewer PP clinics were available, because PP offers prenatal care and other women's health services, more women died. The death rate doubled. Pro-life, 'eh?
- you can't be pro-life if you fight reasonable gun controls.
- you can't be pro-life if you want to repeal the Affordable Care Act. We're hearing too many personal accounts of people who WOULD be dead by now if not for the dreaded Obamacare giving them access, at long last, to affordable health care.
- you can't be pro-life if you're gung-ho for war. War kills people and ecosystems, i.e.: THE PLANET.
I think we need to drive this point home and repeat, repeat, repeat!
