PRO LIFERS STOP SCROLLING
i’m well aware of how long this is, but bear with me, ok?
if you are, as you say: “pro-life”, then here’s the things you should be/campaigning for:
-vegetarianism and veganism
-free universal healthcare
-free contraception and sex education reform
-prison reform and removing the death penalty
-raising the minimum wage
-foster-system reform and adoption equality
vegetarianism and veganism actively save lives of animals, and you actually shouldn’t even be eating plants, fruits, or vegetables because they have life too, right?
free universal healthcare will save many lives of people who can’t afford live saving treatment like chemotherapy and surgery. it will also help close the financial gap between patients as you won’t need to pay out of pocket for insulin or other life saving medications. most of these people have no choice in their illnesses, and insulin prices were about $300 for about one-and-a-half to two months of necessary medical items. many people died or suffered even more health issues because they couldn’t afford it. also, pregnancy is quite expensive, if a mother who cannot even afford to feed herself everyday gets pregnant, she won’t have to pay upwards of $5,000 to have the baby. where were you pro-lifers when bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio cortez proposed free universal healthcare?
free contraception and pregnancy prevention items such as birth control and condoms would drastically decrease the amount of unwanted pregnancies. same with reforming sex education. an abstinence only education actually causes more unwanted pregnancies than education that teaches how pregnancy occurs and how to prevent it. so why aren’t you campaigning for these?
abolishing ICE is actually pretty obvious. deporting undocumented immigrants for no reason other than for their own egos disrupts people’s lives, and sometimes it sends them into a deadly situation. not to mention the treatment of families at the border. putting kids in cages, separating families, not providing soap to these people. many people at the border have died because of diseases that could’ve been prevented had they were given soap. not to mention, many children who were at the border said that they were extremely mistreated. where were you?
vaccinations prevent completely preventable and potentially deadly diseases and viruses such as measles, small pox, chicken pox, and the flu. children have died from these illnesses, and just because some people think that vaccinations are ‘dangerous’ or will ‘cause autism’, which is all de-bunked by many reputable scientists. why are you not spreading that vaccinations should be mandatory (unless you’re allergic to the vaccine)?
prison dramatically affects the lives of many who are sent there. most for unnecessary crimes such as selling pot-brownies, resisting arrest, etc. many of the people that committed these ‘crimes’ will never be able to find a job and therefore, become poor and not be able to afford basic things like food, healthcare, and other necessities or could possibly become homeless. also, studies have shown that about half of the people on death row could potentially be innocent and killed for no reason. even killing criminals who are very much guilty goes against your ‘pro-life’ argument.
the black lives matter movement is actively protesting against absolutely unnecessary killing of black people by white police officers. like freddie gray who was arrested for ‘possession of a knife’ (which is a bullshit reason to be arrested, but that goes with prison reform), while he was in police custody, in hand-cuffs mind you, he ‘mysteriously’ became beaten and fell into a coma. the officer walked free. where were you pro-lifers then and countless other times when things like this occur?
MMIW causes, or missing/murdered indigenous women causes, should be supported. indigenous women are more likely to be assaulted, murdered, or go missing than any other race, for no reason other than the fact that they are indigenous. where are you pro-lifers when these atrocities happen?
gun control will actively save the lives of many americans. shootings have killed thousands of americans, whether they were civilians, students, concert-goers, etc. if you say you are ‘pro-life’ then you should be fighting for universal background checks and gun licenses, because these show that gun deaths will drastically go down if these were to occur.
raising the minimum wage will increase the quality of life among many people across the country. minimum wage currently is not a livable wage, especially with the average rent being at an all time high in our country. also, many mothers who have an abortion because they cannot afford to raise it (because let’s face it, kids are expensive) will have a better opportunity to not raise it in poverty. why are you not campaigning for this?
same goes for marriage equality. if you allow people to marry who they want, their quality of life increases. and studies have shown that ending homophobia and being accepting of their sexualities actually decreases the amount of LGBTQ+ suicides. if you’re pro life you should NOT be homophobic.
thousands of children are in the foster care system, and many of the foster families they can get sent to are abusive and absolutely horrible to them. if you’re pro-life and say that ‘adoption is an option’, then you should be trying to reform the system in which these children will be put into. also, you should support gay couples adopting children, because this will increase the number of children getting adopted and will give children a better chance at life. but you say you don’t want gay couples adopting children because it will ‘corrupt’ them? grow up.
religious freedom will improve the lives of many americans of numerous different faiths. if you end islamophobia and anti-semitism, there will be less hate-crimes against people of these faiths. they won’t have to be afraid of practicing their faiths, they won’t have to be escorted by police to their temples or mosques. why are so many of you pro-lifers anti islam?
stopping climate change will save the lives of everyone on earth, because if climate change is not stopped, it is predicted to kill us by 2060. but why are so many pro-lifers actively against stopping climate change?
and one last thing that you should support if you really are ‘pro-life’:
there was a young girl at the age of eleven, that’s right, ELEVEN, who was a victim of rape. she got pregnant because of this, and was forced to carry her baby to term.
pregnancy is a dangerous and invasive thing, and people who will get their lives ruined because of it should not have to go through it. because then it directly interferes with your mantra of ‘all life should be given a chance’.
oh? you don’t support all of these things? then guess what:
YOU’RE NOT PRO-LIFE, YOU ARE PRO-BIRTH. IF YOU DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHILD AFTER IT IS BORN OR THE MOTHER AFTER SHE GIVES BIRTH THEN YOU C A N N O T CALL YOURSELF PRO-LIFE.
