RIGID RIGHT FORCING WOMEN TO HAVE UNWANTED BABIES BUT OFFER NO CARE FOR CHILDREN AFTERWARDS

The hypocrisy of the people who refuse to allow women to have abortions at any stage, or to even have the 'morning after' pill are without conscience.  Today the statistic was offered that 1 out of every 45 American children is homeless.  Is there logic to bringing children into the world by force then abandoning them or call the helpless mothers who may even have been raped to raise the raper's child, while denigrating them as 'welfare mothers'.

Armanda Marcotte has written on 8 Right-Wing Groups Practicing Scorched-Earth Anti-Choice Nuttery Against Women.  "They’ve sent a strong message to Republicans: It’s not enough to be “pro-life” anymore. They want full-on war on women and sex."  Who are some of these absolutists?  Click here to read the Marcotte article.

The 8 groups are:Personhood USA. an umbrella group for various state activist groups pushing to get “personhood amendments” onto the ballot "Personhood USA has only one ostensible goal, to amend state constitutions to get fertilized eggs defined as legal “persons”"
Live Action  Their agenda controls the Republican Party.  Live Action openly supports the absolutist agenda, putting their support behind personhood initiatives and attacking Planned Parenthood not just for providing abortion, but because the organization is willing to provide STD and contraception information to minors and self-identified sex workers.  The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. A large wing of the organization is devoted to lobbying for extremist anti-choice policies that are often far beyond anything being asked by incrementalist anti-choice activists. While the group fights the label, they are, in fact, lobbyists.  Ohio ProLife Action.  They would ban all abortions after a heart beat is detected.
Susan B. Anthony List  They are anti-choicers fallaciously claiming to be supportive of some “older” form of feminism.   Leslee Unruh with the Alpha Center.  Leslee Unruh is a one-woman machine of anti-choice extremism in South Dakota.who seems to have the ears of many of the state's legislators and has been successful in getting her agenda on the ballots but has been voted down. American Life League. Before personhood amendments were even on the anti-choice radar, ALL was demanding not just an overturn of Roe, but also an overturn of Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 Supreme Court decision that legalized contraception for married couples.

A fertilized egg is seen as a person for whom these groups will fight to birth only.  Abandonment follows.  How can these people believe they are ProLife.  They are only ProBirth.  The majority of births produce living children and the necessity for their survival is no less than it might have been to those who were passing judgment that they should be born to suffer whether there is anyone to love or care for them, feed them, help to mold their characters, and so much more.  To my view, people who call themselves ProLife are the worst Christians I can imagine if they, in fact, have read about Christ's life and works.
