Do Republicans know that EVERYTHING they are doing is the opposite of pro-life?

Even assuming they are pro-life only for white people, what they are doing is not even helping white people (even if maybe it is hurting POC more).

Overall, everything this government is doing is pro-death on every level-- most notably on messing up social security and medicaid, gutting public health and promoting more pollution and greenhouse gas production.

It's just evil.

What the hell is their rationalization? Especially since most of them call themselves Christians!

they really don't give a fuck about fetuses either, or else they'd be more in favor of helping pregnant women

it is all about CONTROL

With all the juicy bestial roles played by the GOP and their anti-President. Only if the real thing ever hits they will suddenly find the demon jobs are already taken.

Mass extinctions and the lowering of the human population to very low numbers, all those potential humans lives having no room even to be born. A sort of abortion of everything.

They want people to get sick and die so that people don’t have the strength to push back and to remove the drain on privatized/privatizing resources.

It’s a brand, just like Christianity is to them.

They’re actually for controlling women, quid-pro-quo relationships with corporate donors, and, letting people who can’t contribute to the billionaire class’s wealth die. They just can’t say these things out loud because it sounds ghoulish and evil.

Going back at least 40 years, this has been the nature of the Republican party: talk the pro-life game, oppose anything which actually prolongs or saves lives. A better question is why does it sell?
