Republicans are NOT Pro-Life
They are pro-fetus.

Once the child is born, they cease to care about them.

They cut programs to help struggling young mothers and families.

They cut WIC, food stamps, school lunch programs. Day care programs.

They cut health programs. Any and every program that serves as a social safety net for vulnerable children is a target. Meanwhile, they give BILLIONS in tax cuts to the wealthiest of the wealthy.

They start wars that maim and kill tens of thousands of innocent children and orphan thousands more. They demand others die in these wars of choice, but they do not send their own children to fight.

They roll back rules for environmental protections. Childhood asthma is skyrocketing. Our fish are poisoned with mercury, and many pregnant women's blood levels are unsafe. The Republicans do not care. They put up laws that make the corporations who taint the air and water free from lawsuits.

1 in 5 children in the US lives in poverty.

1. No one helped W. He was born in a manger, wearing boots that he
pulled himself up with.

3. Did his boots have the Presidential seal on them at birth or was
that a later addition?

5. The Presidential Seal is a design based on his halo
that was present at his birth.

7. they aren't even pro-fetus. they're anti-choice, anti-sex.
the really hate the thought that an abortion today might lead you to give birth to a child later that otherwise would never be.

that really boggles their feeble brains.

9. They are pro-birth
That's what I've always said about the republican party. When people correct me that it's pro-life I politely remind them that they don't care about the quality of life for all the unwanted children already in the US. Their only interest is to have control over women's wombs and force them to carry every pregnancy the have.

Life, whenever it begins, is mostly composed of the time we spend out of the womb, not in it.
