Republicans are pro-death

June 1, 2022 by Guest Post

by Wanda LaCroix, Missoula

Radicalized Republicans are pro-death. 

• They called the Covid-19 pandemic a hoax and encouraged maskless, unvaccinated crowds to congregate. Over a million dead.

• They deny Climate Change and block every effort to address this reality. 

• They refuse common-sense gun legislation, doubling down on false conspiracy theories, radicalizing more murderers.

Now they’re set to kill women. According to NIH and WHO, the risk of death associated with childbirth is 14 times higher than that with legal abortion. Lack of access to safe, timely, affordable abortions leads to a 45% higher death rate than childbirth.

Republicans would deny safe abortions. This won’t stop abortions, but it will kill many women and fetuses. Only in opposite land is that “pro-life.”

Republicans block funding for baby formula, food stamps, welfare, fair wages, childcare, healthcare. They would force women to become incubators, limiting their education and careers to produce unwanted, unsupported children who are more likely to become mass-murderers than Einsteins. 

Women are intelligent, autonomous human beings not sea turtles. Republicans would deny women freedom to live as they choose and, in too many cases, die to suit the agenda of radical religious zealots.

Anti-choice is anything but pro-life. It is anti-freedom and pro-death.

    Interesting that the left promote and endorse the killing of over 60 Million babies thru abortion and then call Republicans “pro death”.

      Babies do not die through abortions. That is a lie.

      Before Roe v Wade, though, women frequently died during what were referred to as “back alley” abortions. We will see these needless deaths again when Roe is overturned by your Republican Supreme Court.

      ‘Pro-death’ is indeed an accurate desciption of you and your kind.

        Perhaps you could explain how an abortion does not terminate the life of the fetus? That would be really interesting.

          A fetus is not a baby under any rational definition. You conflate the two for effect only. It’s a cheap trick used by dishonest people such as yourself.

            Ok… I got it.
            The rational for aborting a fetus according to David Welch.

    You stated one almost truth in your rant.
    I will correct you and say, some women are intelligent autonomous beings. Others may as well be sea turtles!
