No no, I'm not just posting another abortion thread. Let's talk about consistency about being "pro-life"
Being pro-life means every person, fetus or otherwise, has an equal right to live out their life, correct?
Then how come so many pro-life people [namely conservatives] are in support of the death penalty? The death penalty serves no purpose but to end someone's life. That flies directly in the face of being pro-life.
Similarly, if you're pro-life, you should support some sort of universal healthcare system. Every person deserves access to proper healthcare and it shouldn't depend on whether or not they can afford it. Not doing so also contracts the values of being pro-life.
So, pro-lifers - either accept these other values into your worldview, or admit that you're just pro-fetus.

Edited by The Great DanTej: 1/26/2013 7:12:05 AMWhat i don't understand about pro-lifers, is that they think that living in a broken household (see: single parent families, teenage parent families, unloving families, financially challenged/poverty stricken families) is preferable to not being born. Basically, i don't get why they stop caring about the fetus the second it's born.
