Nestor hit the nail on the head.
I think it's extremely important for folks who claim to be pro life to actually BE pro life. That extends out beyond (but not exclude) caring about the lives of unborn children, to caring about all life. We should also care for the well being of the mothers facing crisis pregnancies and raising a child in difficult circumstances, we should also speak out against the death penalty, we should give to charity, volunteer, not abuse our environment, not start a war unless absolutely necessary, and take good care of our animals.
Imagine how much more respect we'd get as pro lifers, if every single one of us remained consistent in our defense for life?
(EDIT TO ADD: not saying Chad and King are amogst those who are not consistent. there are many people who are, but sadly, many who are not.)

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
