musicgeeksrock had this to say.

I am pro-life.

I am for the lives of the hundreds of thousands starving to death.

I am for the lives of the hundreds of men and women killed in war.

I am for the lives of innocent teens who were never taught how to protect themselves.

I am for the lives of the millions in my country without proper health care.

I am for the lives of all the people who have thought about committing suicide.

I am for the lives of the people who never live above 40 because of their standard of living.

I am for the lives of teenage mothers who can't support the children that are forced upon them.

I am even for the lives of criminals who never had a fair shot.

So America- while you're off campaigning for one life, look at what lives I care about. And stop spouting this nonsense about being "pro-life" yourself. Because if you look at what lives you overlook to worry about one, you'll realize you're not nearly as pro-life as you think you are.

I am pro-life.

I am for living.


Bravo and ditto, with a few modifications for Australian conditions.

Theys be some powerful words there.

I've often wondered what twisted logic 'pro-lifers' actually use. Cos it certainly doesn't encompass any of the ideas above.

Beautifully, and brilliantly said!

this is true, here pro lifers tend to mean anti abortionists, and thats about the scope of their concern...
