1Pro-life is a term concerning abortion, not human life in general. You folks misunderstood my post, taking it to mean that we shouldn't care about children after they reach a certain age.
That was in fact not my intent. I was merely discussing terminology.

The 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.
Adults seeking aid for parenting look to organizations intended for parenting.
Teenagers who seek aid for drug abuse rely on organizations intended to address drug abuse.
Likewise, infants who need help have organizations intended to meet the needs of infants. Such an organization is the pro-life movement, which is not intended to provide food, healthcare, or child rearing.
The pro-life movement deals specifically with abortion, not food distribution. If we wish to protect infants from starvation, then we shouldn't look to the pro-life movement, which isn't intended to deal with such matters, but to certain charities and other organizations.
The job is done for the pro-life movement. They have played their part in preserving life; now other movements must play their part.

If anything, preventing our children from being born is showing disrespect for the sanctity of human life. (May 21, 2014 at 4:18 am)Esquilax Wrote: Hey Buzz, if god came down and ordered you to kill an unborn infant, would you do it?
God wouldn't come down and give me orders like that.
