What is it with Pro-Lifers
And images of destroyed fetuses?

Why don't any Pro-Life people and organizations carry this image around?



I mean if they were truly Pro-Life, they'd care a little about starving children in Africa and everywhere else, right?

1. They're Not Pro-Life; They're Anti-Womens' Rights
Don't use THEIR terminology, which distorts the truth.
Portray them honestly as people who hate equality!

6. Agreed. "pro life" is a ruse.
A euphemism. I always use "anti choice" because it's far more accurate.

16. Women haters, which is the truth of where they LIVE.
Pro reproductive slavery, which is what they WANT

Antichoice, which is the polite version, if you're interested in being polite to the assholes.

4. This morning, I was behind a car with a "Protect the Unborn" bumper
sticker and thought I should look around for one that reads, "Protect the Born." I've seen on at Cafe Press, but it's too wordy for me.

5. They're not "pro-life," they support forced child birth.........
Once the child is born, they really don't give a shit.

8. So-called "pro-lifers" are nothing more than hypocritical bigots.
They shove everyone in neat little boxes with pre-fabricated labels thereby easing their guilty conscience and not confusing their simple minds with clear, analytical thinking.

They can be against abortion, but for the death penalty since the former is in the "innocent" box, and the latter in the box labeled "guilty". Mitigating circumstances? To hell with mitigating circumstances! It's just too confusing...and belongs in the "iffy" labeled box right along with "evolution" anyway.

Women's Rights groups should counter any and all anti-choice nutcase protests with their tasteless, bloody, and misleading posters of extracted fetuses, with posters as big as theirs showing the starving, dying and dead children all around the world including the starving and poor American children right here in the United States.

Then these delusional dimwits (that think embryos are babies, and the death penalty is fair punishment) get "visuals" to help them see just how hypocritical they really are.

9. They are pro-pregnancy. They hate women and have found something to
scream at us about.

10. They're not Pro-Life, they're more about "Mine is mine by Divine Right
and sharing/socialism is Evil because it violates my Divine Right to as much of everything that I can get".

11. Because. ..
They actually admit to not caring about "born children." Their only concern is about the unborn. This is at least what some of them said on television here in Harrisburg recently.

The problems of "born children" simply do not concern them at all.

12. It's like the stupid "Choose Life!" license tags we have in Florida.
I'll ask a driver, hey, what's that tag for? They'll say it's pro-adoption (with a smirk...they know it's code-talk for anti-choice).

I ask them, hey, how many black kids have you adopted?

Haven't had a one answer that question!

13. Don't use their language
They are not pro life. They are pro forced pregnancies, pro invasion of privacy and against women't reproductive rights.

14. How can they be pro-family yet pro-corporate? How can they be
pro-America yet pro-globalization, which is destroying both families and America? (Talk about two birds with one stone...)

18. It's all decption
They decieve themselves into thinking that they are nobel.
They decieve themselves into thinking that unless you agree with them that your unchristian.
They are just a bunch of worthless decievers and liars and I want now part of them.
Hey if fundy's believe in a eye for an eye I was wondering if I can smack them on the knees with a baseball bat? I mean they are keeping me in a wheel chair because they are preventing the research that I need because said research is against "their" religous beliefs.
