Oh "pro-life! pro-life!"
But do these people actually give a fuck about living children (who have already been born) living in poverty? Do you push for welfare to help the low-income struggling single mother, or do you demonise her and judge her sexual history? Are you involved with charities and organisations that do real good work helping kids and their parents?
I feel like these pro-lifers (and while I'm on the subject, anti gay adoption people too) care so much about children's rights to life and a stable home when it's convenient for their argument. Unless I can see some proof that you support anti child abuse organisations, are open to the idea of fostering, support welfare for poor families with kids, etc etc etc I don't care to hear your faux-progressive "pro-life" arguments about abortion. I really don't.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
