Let's put this myth to rest once and for all: The Republican Party is NOT the "pro-life" party.

    Why didn't you just go and educated yourself on the matter, Google is a wonderful thing

    "On the other hand, smaller proportions of women in 2004 than in 1987 said that having a baby would interfere with their job or career (38% vs. 50%), that they were not mature enough (22% vs. 27%), that their husband or partner wanted them to have an abortion (14% vs. 24%), and that they and their partner could not or did not want to get married (12% vs. 30%). In both surveys, 1% indicated that they had been victims of rape, and less than half a percent said they became pregnant as a result of incest."

    Your desperate attempts to conflate mothers electing to kill their unborn babies with totally unconnected matters matters noted.

    LOL.. no really... wait... lol....Interesting tact, but unlawful entry entirely discounts asylum. More, asylum must be asked for, not just assumed. Try again.

    many Republicans are pro-choice, this is a problem for the Republican Party

    https://www.patriotsnet.com/how-many-republicans-are-pro-choice/

    "In 2017, Gallup released polling information showing that 36% of Republicans identified as “pro-choice” and 70% agreed that abortion should be legal in some or all circumstances."

    How do you think a woman becomes a mother?
    It isn't always Shirley Temple and 1950's adverts for Kelloggs corn flakes.

    So that means about half of those wanting an abortion are "promiscuous"
    The rest had a good reason.

    There is NO "baby" involved in an abortion.


    You are correct. YOU can call it anything you want but that does NOT change the FACT that if it isn't born then it isn't a person with rights.





    YES ,AFTER NINE MONTHS ...



    You have been shown when a fetus feels pain...YOU are not a scientist nor doctor so YOU do NOT know when it feels pain.

    As you have been repeatedly told when most abortions occur the fetus canNOT feel pain.



    No, I don't call a fetus a "baby" because it isn't a baby...it's not an adult or a teenager so I don't call it by those terms either.

    I prefer factual scientific accurate terms.

    The term "baby" is an emotional term used to garner sympathy

    So we should have designated policy based on we identify?
    Sure you can identify it as born if you like.

    Because they are the party that wants to directly interfere with a woman's choice.

    I'm all for eviction instead of abortion when thats a viable option.

    Only pain.
    If it makes you feel better not to call it a baby, so be it. But it still has legs and arms, at least before they tear them off, sucks its thumb, reacts to singing by its mother and a brain and nerves to feel pain.

    I identify as "hatched". But seriously, those identifying as a "citizen", while supporting more government interference, should know that they must change their identity to "less of a citizen"

    First of all, try logic. Do you think it feels pain only in the instant after it is born?

    And you google it and you will find numerous studies on the subject.
    When something happens to the mother, I have never heard one say "Is my fetus OK?". They always refer to it as "My baby".

    Where on earth did you get the idea that all kids "in the system" were placed there as newborn babies? If you are claiming that babies are only adopted by same race parents, you offer nothing to support this, why don't blacks step up to the plate more and adopt them?

    There are pro-life Dems and Independents and it's not interferring with a "choice" it is about the mother killing her unborn baby, why can't you call it what it actually is?

    It means 1% of abortions are due to a rape. No woman who is raped has to get pregnant, there are ample and widely available means to prevent it.

    Well, it's the mothers right to identify what's in her as she pleases.
    I know people that call their pets children, and treat them better then humans. It's their right.

    But when it's not invited it's also their obligation to defend themselves, and their life style.

    I do call them a fetus.
    That's not accurate now? I'll call them a baby once it's excluded from being a fetus, fair?

    If that's what the party feels it's about, they are going to have to provide incentives for the woman to carry to term if it's not in her best interest to do so. It's In her body she was there first, she can identify the fetus as she pleases, and evict it once its no longer invited.

    Funny isn't it. Actually, more tragic than funny. When they want to dispose of it, it is a fetus. But when they want to keep it, it is a baby.

    Fetus and baby are mutually inclusive, there is no difference.

    Then demand Democrat pro-life do the same. There is another body, another human being involved in an abortion. A baby who is killed during the abortion. When you evict someone from your property do you get to kill them because they are not invited? The invitation is when you engage in sexual intercourse knowing full well that you are doing something that can create a new human being.

    And BTW there are plenty of agencies out there to help such women but the Dems are trying to shut them down and even suing them to force women to go to clinics where they can get the baby killed instead.
