There is no "pro-life". There is just an elaborate misogynist long con to strip women of any rights or gains made in the 20th Century.
This statement is a response to the people who are continually shocked that “pro-life” doesn’t care about babies after they are born, the death penalty, making sure poor people don’t die b/c their health care has been stolen, etc.
Yes, of course “pro-life” doesn’t care about that. Because it’s not about lives and it never was.
They never cared about babies. The whole baby thing is part of the con.
It’s a con. Stop believing in right wing lies.
It’s not about babies. It was never about babies. Stop arguing with them about babies.
Never argue with a liar on their own liar terms.
This is why “pro-life” people are also coming after IUDs and the Pill and preventing people from getting life-saving miscarriage care.
So-called “pro-life” is a movement that murders doctors and bombs medical clinics.
And we really need to talk about tactics here, b/c misogyny is winning the propaganda war and has been for decades.
If your personal stance is- I believe everyone should be able to get an abortion but… Just stop before the but.
Stop qualifying it with “but I never would” or I think it’s wrong" or whatever other “I’m a good person” signal you are trying to throw out.
B/c by doing that, you are ceding ground to misogynist violence. You are letting them win the “is abortion a bad thing” argument.
Abortion is not bad. And if you support abortion access- All you need to say is “I support abortion access for anyone who wants one”.
We have to reframe the abortion fight as what it really is- a misogynist attack on gender equality. It’s not about babies at all. It never was.
If you understand that, you will understand why the so called “pro-life” movement behaves as it does.
The rhetoric and behavior does not match up at all. That should tell you something.
Don’t pay attention to what they say. Only to what they do.
