Let's recap what the "Pro-life" party wants to put on pause
-Medicaid, which covers care for pregnant women, newborns, and post-partum care
-Food inspections (there are currently two active Listeria outbreaks, one of the leading infectious causes of miscarriage), and despite the fact that there was an unprecedented formula recall last year.
-Not alluded to directly but WIC and SNAP are both USDA programs.
I have found new depths of contempt for these people.
But all the Pro-Lifers said that the repeal of Roe would lead to a new golden age of benefits to help struggling mothers. You mean this was a load of bull flop? I'm shocked!!!! (Yes, sarcasm :) ).
The real (yes, there are one or two) pro-life groups are advocating those benefits. One group I used to support really believes in pro-life - supporting the mothers, giving them all the help they need, etc. The problem is that they, whether they want to admit it, are forever tainted by the fascists. I'm not sure they realize it yet based on emails and newsletters I get from them. Until they do and scream condemnation of the Abbotts, etc from the hilltops, I really can't support them any more.
You are correct, there are Pro-Life groups doing the hard work of helping the less fortunate. Sadly, they have no influence on public policies that would actually help.
This would also stop payments to the millionaire farmers that support these idiots. They love to scream "welfare queens" ignoring the literally billions that get paid to oil companies, farmers who don't grow crops, etc.
Agree with one correction. In earlier times they could reasonably be called Pro Life. Now I believe they should more accurately be called Forced Birth. They don’t give a damn what happens to a child, and their family, once they are born. Their whole point is to force women to give birth, regardless of the circumstances.
The anti-abortion movement has never been about preserving life. It is all about controlling women. That is why they also oppose birth-control. The best way to prevent the need for abortions is to promote birth-control and I don't mean the rhythm method.
I’d make it broader what their goal is: control, especially of women. They want to control how everyone lives. Sometimes it’s about reproduction, sometimes about marriage, sometimes it’s about what professional women must wear to cover their bare arms, sometimes it’s about who can play sports. Wyoming Republicans are even contemplating outlawing electric cars.
I'm just completely done giving "pro-life" Republican voters the benefit of the doubt. These people don't give a flying f*** about "dead babies". They just want groups of people to demonize, and "women who have sex willingly or unwillingly" aligns with their misogyny, paranoia, feckless machismo, and contempt-driven worldview. Seriously, these "single issue voters" are either hopelessly dim or devoid of basic human empathy.
It's simple Maggie, just don't have sex, have children, or care for children for the duration of this crisis (which has no fixed duration). Certainly the American people can muster more self-control than (check notes) their duly-elected representatives?

First thing Buttigieg does is ground all planes because there is no money to pay TSA and ATC.
Next thing is to put all border patrol on indefinite leave.
Then shut down meat processing plants for lack of food safety personnel.
Then stop all tax refunds.

Most of them were ALWAYS forced birth. The prolife label was to make their extremism palatable.
