I think this describes some, but certainly not all pro-lifers. But I just read Trump has ended protections for women seeking abortions at centers because now he says protesters do not have to abide by the limits to how close they can get to those centers. He is a pig, through and through.
I would say it describes "almost all" or at the very least "most" pro-lifers, as evidenced by our complete lack of care for actual children at a government level, and the constant attack on the few things they have, like any sort of welfare, healthcare and the like.
But she was married to my dad, and we were financially sound.... Until my mom got sick.. couldn't work, lost her insurance, missed her cancer diagnosis, allowing it to progress beyond help, wiped out our finances. then my mom died, dads depressed cant afford her burial... But sure.. prolife and all.
Thank you for this. I'm currently researching how to protect the citizenship of my child whom we adopted from another country. I've had to listen to pro-lifers go on about "protecting babies" for years. I was, like, great, let's help babies. But here we are. Their hypocrisy is truly horrible.
What people don't see is that a fetus isn't an emancipated person.
To truly save a person means more than a fetus. It means a life until he/ she becomes emancipated.
If the pro-life people realize the cost of this, they would no longer protest. 😒
It's not morality. It's 💰 🤑 💸
They cannot hear this information. When they are asked how many of the unwanted babies they’re going to take in, they tsk tsk and say it’s the parents’ responsibility. ((Dusting their hands)) problem solved. ☹️🥺
And anti-women. The maternal mortality rate has gone up in the red states, since their abortion bans went into place. This makes the GOP very happy. Now they’re focusing on changing the laws in the blue states as well. Because Christianity. ✝️
These goblins wanna get rid of higher education so that no woman can leave these 'welfare blackhole' states for blue states, and then turn those women into baby making machines. These Neanderthals are not conservatives, they are regressives!
A lot of abortions happen because the child is a product of sexual abuse.
People who don't care about homeless people won't care about children either.
It's all about creating slaves by forcing births.
Else you'd have to call nightly unintended ejaculations while sleeping a genocide.
The unborn are the most convenient group to advocate for, because it makes people feel good about themselves without having to do anything that actually helps others.
Attend some pro-life meetings and see if you think the people there resemble this cartoon. Demonization, dehumanization, and othering isn’t just for the right you know.
Difference is right-wingers dehumanize based on immutable characteristics like race, or sexual orientation, place of birth etc. Leftist dehumanize based on actions and content of character. If you act like a rabid animal expect to be treated like one.
Over simplifying human morality with people you disagree with. Shame and humiliation only binds blinds and makes people determined to get revenge. Untie under common humanity not a common enemy.
Ok, so, I had my son during my junior year of high school, the only reason i never got it aborted is bc I was afraid.
Now, I get harassed by people here in America, after moving to find my brother, because “You didn’t keep my legs closed”
They only care if we suffer.
That happens when specific topics are politicized.That shows the bias of the pro-life crowd.As long as it is a zygote,it is worth protecting,but as soon as it is born, it does not have value, and they are against same sex families to adopt unwanted infants.It's rather political than based on values.
As a pro-life Christian, I wish more people would realize that pro-life should also include caring for poor/marginalized children, protecting venerable people, being anti-death penalty, etc. Instead, this movement that should be used for helping the weak and undefended is used for sexism.
Anti-🏳️⚧️ arguments run the same. Holding up placards of fresh top surgery results, talking about 'saving our girls' and campaigning to remove healthcare and mental health support, while yelling at us that we're 'just mentally ill' & driving everything into unregulated backstreet sources.
This cartoon illustrates just one of the many hypocrisies of anti-abortion ideology.
The so-called “pro-life”movement isn’t really about protecting life/babies/children at all. It’s about subjugating female bodies. #Abortion is a human rights issue.
I saw a sign yesterday that said a heartbeat starts in blah days. Take out and see what happens. Without a brain stem I do believe it hard to breath or have a heart beat independent of the host. 🥰
The Orphan Train took orphaned, abused, & homeless children and sent them to be "fostered", but really for free labor. We literally put children into indentured servitude. Guess what? Some were poor & immigrant kids, not orphans. Sounds right up MAGA's alley. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Train
No pro-life about them. Like many right-wing groups the name is opposite of what they do and represent. Only in America can you be pro-death penalty, pro-war, pro-unmanned drone bombs, pro-nuclear weapons, pro-guns, pro-torture, pro-land mines, and still call yourself ‘pro-life’. John Fugelsang
The pro-life paradox: a fetus is sacred, a starving child is a burden, and an impoverished adult made bad choices. Morality is intact, as long as it costs nothing.
Do you have proof that all pro life supporters refuse to assist any and everyone, in every country in the world to better their situation? That seems like a big claim.
I’m only Pro-Life until men are granted equal rights to abandon parenthood. Women have more rights than men in this instance and we need to fight for equal rights.
Why is it they never talk about holding the men that are responsible and needed for impregnation accountable??? Death to women and the men like ole can't keep it in his pants ill fuck anything raw petee’ hegseth with 7 kids by 3 women gets to continue to be a menace on society felon 34/47 included?
My father (Trump lover) told me as I placed a can between my knees so it didn’t blow into the water…”you should have kept your legs closed a long time ago”. We won’t be speaking again, ever. Hal Goss you are a misogynist pervert and I deserved a better father.
because women must "face the consequences of their actions" (but not men! they have so mUcH pOteNtiAl!). it has never been about saving children or fetuses.
That’s true. It’s all about power. It’s not about caring about children. It about keeping all women under the control of some men who are threatened. It is true that a woman’s place is in the house (and the senate, the White House) and all places where intellect and humanity are valued.
Many of these people truly believe that once the woman has the baby, her heart will change, she will attend church, the church will support them, they will meet a nice man, take night classes and get a good job. They really, really believe this is a straight forward path
Its because the only thing they actually care about is reinforcing the Hierarchies that keep them at the top, they worship Hierarchies and that's why we must tear them down
I've said for years that it's not a 'pro-life' movement. It's an 'anti-women' movement. They're only pro-children until birth, and then fuck that noise.
It's always been about power and hatred, nothing else.
I’m pro-choice, but credit where it’s due: Christian groups drive 30-40% of U.S. charity efforts, like food aid and disaster relief—impactful, yet complex.
They just want sexually liberated women to be punished. That was all it was. They also want yo increase our population so corporations have infinite workers.

Pro life claimed that abortion is killing babies. Well now thanks to abortion bans women are killing the unwanted babies they were forced by the state to deliver.
another sinister part of the pro life/republican agenda is keeping child marriage legal between adult men and girls.
repost and/or call (or social media) pro life and republican legislators NOW and ask why they support archaic laws that allow them to exploit children. #prochoice #resist
i’m a lvl 60 disabled, cis white male that confronted forced birthers ALONE at PP for two years until 01.17.25. everyone said they would help yet they always had excuses.
pro life would tell me “come back alone after 01.20, you die”
my boots were and will be back on the ground! ✊🏻🩶
They do want white babies but they don’t want to take care of any humans after they’re born. They just want the power to force woman to have the babies.
Yeah, it seems they only really want to take care of affluent white babies. They want upper/middle class children which is why they don’t support programs to help low-income or BIPOC children once they are born. They want to stand on the moral high ground while curating a population.
You’re so right!! They don’t want any assistance programs for people that need it. They’ll also say adoption! but they aren’t personally going to do the work to adopt babies and kids with trauma.
It’s well documented that white supremacy is the cornerstone of the anti-choice movement. The public image portrayed, like many political issues, is carefully curated to hide that fact, I’m afraid.
There’s plenty of Black Americans that spout this same shit though. Hell I remember all of the “N*gro Project” crap that Black men spewed all over social media to prevent Black women from making informed decisions.
Internalized white supremacy is a deeply complex issue. But, simply, it encompasses the desire to identify with the ideals of the racial category that you think is most powerful in the society that you live in. Also misogyny seems to know no race 🤷♀️
All of these conservative politician positions are intended to divide community, which shifts power to them. So we fight for human rights and they gut the IRS to get more wealthy.
When there are hundreds of thousands of kids in foster care or waiting on adoption. How about if they choose anyone of the ones already born. Oh, or someone that wants to choose adoption/surrender? There are plenty of them not being adopted, so your statement changes nothing.
So are you advocating baby farms to appease the whims of these couples? In 2024 there were 355,000 children in the care system in the USA. I'm pretty sure any one of them would be thankful for a permanent home to grow up in.
No, and I’m not an expert in this area. I just wanted to point out there are other options for women who have an unwanted pregnancy.
I was born in 1958 and my mom wasn’t married when she found out. She kept me because there wasn’t an option. I wonder how many lives that aren’t because of our laws
I understand your feelings, but to understate the dangers of pregnancy itself is problematic. This is especially acute in very young girls, as evidenced by the long term health problems child brides across the world suffer. I think the lack of universal healthcare may also be a factor in the US.
My favorite point that they don't care about lives, just births, not quality, but quantity, not people, but laborers. Unfortunately, the majority of pro-life people are incredibly confused about how to actually make lives better. Serving that saying, "There is no stronger hate than Christian love."
Absolutely, not only does it harm children to be raised in homes by gestational parents (men can have babies too) that shouldn't have been forced to have them, it literally ruins that person's life if they don't have the finances or desire to be a parent trapping them with abusive partners.
At the very least they need to be charged for every unwanted pregnancy. Srsly. If we are criminalized for abortions then impregnating a woman unwillingly should be a felony

Forcing wages to stay low disproportionately harms single mothers and children.
THIS IS BY DESIGN
I've met too many people who claim to be "pro-life" who are only pro-birth and don't seem to care about the "life" at all.
