I hate the term "Pro-Life", as it is not accurate. They are "Anti-Choice", plain and simple.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

This is also just anti-choice across the board because she was coerced.
Well it's criminal because she was coerced
his choice, which is apparently all that matters
If they were truly pro-life they would be pro school lunches, pro maternity leave, and other supports for the actual life of the child, but most of them aren't because thats too socialist. Pro life up until it pops out then they don't give a shit about the actual quality of life the baby receives.
They are quite anti-life when it comes to the mother. Perfectly fine if she dies in pregnancy or childbirth. It's even fine if her death results in the fetus' death.
They're 'Pro-Misery'. As long as it's not them.
I've unbelievably never heard or thought to refer to it like this, my new choice of words for it
They love the death penalty, ignore science and rally against vegans.
I am trans, autie AND vegan. I don't stand a chance D:
"Off with her head!"
They are not pro-life, they are in fact pro-birth by any means necessary.
They're Anti-Life, in fact.
They'd rather see mother and unborn child die than just the mother if the child isn't viable.
They all love themselves some 'judicial' murders. Because 'an eye for an eye' is all they understand.
This is pretty common. There should be a website with a list of anti-choice politicians who are pro choice in private.
You may as well just list all of them. Every conservative is basically a "rules for thee, not for me" jagoff. The second it's about comeuppance for their own behavior they think they deserve a break and forgiveness instead of punishment. They all think they're special snowflakes whose circumstances are different than everyone else's. Which is part of why it's hilariously on point that they project that part of themselves onto the left.
I mean just look at how this jagoff treated his killing of an innocent.
Perhaps not merely a list of names, but also profiles of 'what they stand for' and 'how they act on it'.
You have them mistaken. Pro-life is just code for "the man gets the choice".
Even that's better than their position. It's The Man (as in government) that gets to choose, unless they're wealthy. Poor men or women can't choose.
A tale as old as time
Remember that guy from Trump's first administration that looked like he'd been copied and pasted from a late 90s video game?
Not him
This one:
He brought his pregnant girlfriend a smoothie with a ~~Plan B~~ abortion pill? crushed up inside of it to force her to abort without her knowledge.
Then he tried to sue for libel when the story was published, but a judge ordered that he had no basis and made him pay the other party's legal fees instead.
Trumpworld’s Jason Miller Must Pay Gizmodo Thousands for Accurately Reporting Insane Story About Him
So prolife he had to pretend to be doing something thoughtful for her and the baby when he straight up poisoned his girlfriend without her consent.
PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: taking Plan B as directed does not cause miscarriages. If a fertilized embryo has already implanted into the uterine lining and started to grow, Plan B has missed its window of effectiveness. That's why the directions indicate you need to take it as soon as possible and no more than 72 hours after intercourse. Cheers.
My bad article just says abortion pill. Not sure what drug it is
Probably mifepristone
You'd probably have a harder time finding a GOP politician that hasn't done this than has.
Naw there's lots of secretly gay ones to pick from
I for one can’t wait for the first gay autistic trans republican abortion out of wedlock.
Ask any doctor that has provided abortions and they will tell you that the loudmouths against always have representatives that show up wanting their "necessary" abortion. Whether it for their mistress, daughter, wife who can't take another child or whatever. It's the same as they are for most things, ok for me but not for thee.
The hypocrisy is obvious, but coercing someone to have an abortion is not Pro-Choice.
"But, my abortion is different!"
Abortion is MURDER and ANYONE who Kills a Baby is going to HELL! Sometimes! Sometimes it's NOT Murder! Like on Tuesdays or after eating PIZZA!
Larry Craig: Am I a joke to you?
That's why he changed to fucking men in airport bathrooms. He didn't have to worry about getting them pregnant.
do americans point out hypocrisy for points or something
politicians just do whatever until you grind them into paste, its why you shouldn't have politicians and you should invest in paste
That headline is ripping off Tom Waits. ("She's femme in the sheets but she's butch in the streets").
I would be surprised (though I guess not all that surprised) if it was Tom Waits who coined the "X in streets, Y in the sheets" saying.
You're probably right.
