(50,254 posts)They would work to transform this into a country that actually RESPECTS AND HONORS "life"...rather than just making it impossible to get an abortion(OR contraception, as most of them also want to do, for some twisted reason);
They would work for a living wage for all, so that no one felt that they had to have an abortion because they couldn't afford a child(or another child);
They would work to make business stop punishing women for having children(if men don't have to choose between family and career, women shouldn't have to either);
They would work against war, because killing on the battlefield(or of civilians from bombers far above the "field" would be just as wrong to them AS abortion is;
And they would work to make sure that all people are treated with dignity and respect, and are valued as the treasures each human being is, so that the impulse to suicide was sharply reduced;
But(other than the "seamless garment" minority)they DON'T do that. And those who don't don't give a damn about life...they just hate the idea of women LIVING life on their own terms, as men usually get to.
And frankly, many of them just plain hate women...including some "pro-life" women themselves(I seriously doubt, for example, that Phyllis Schlafly or Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter have ANY female friends).
