1The term pro-life is a label for persons who wish to safeguard infants by opposing abortion, not persons who wish to safeguard adults and older children.
The goal of the pro-life movement is to protect developing beings who are in a state where they are unable to defend and speak for themselves, 2not to provide healthcare and food; there are organizations specifically made to provide those necessities. Once the being who needs protecting develops to the stage where it can defend itself; (the age of reason) the job is done.
That's not pro-life, then. That's just pro-forced birth. Kind of a dishonest use of language, not to mention a demonstration that all of that emotionally charged rhetoric about poor little babies is just a smokescreen, and you don't actually care about the children themselves.
Or even babies. Wtf is this guy really actually serious??
