14. No, Republicans even are NOT pro-life. Not one teeny tiny bit.

They are only pro-fetus, and when there's a choice to be made between a living, breathing woman and a dying, doomed fetus, they'll pick the fetus every time! They have to "protect the lives of the unborn," you see, at the cost of anything, everything, and anyone else that might be involved.

They'll allow a woman's life to be saved if a doctor can prove beyond a doubt that there is absolutely no fetal life inside her, but otherwise, forget about it!

Saving a woman's possible future fertility is even less important to them. Most of them probably believe that any woman who would have an abortion doesn't "deserve" to be a mother anyway.

"Even if the abortion was needed to save her life?" you ask. Ha! They don't believe that's even a thing that happens!

The "pro-life" label is a huge lie in general. If it wasn't deliberately coined to slander those who believe in choice, it might as well have been. After all, what's the opposite of "pro-life"? That's right, pro-death! Every time they refer to themselves that way, they're implying the rest of us are "pro-death"! That's why I absolutely refuse to use that label. They're pro-fetus, pro-making women staying pregnant, and anti-choice.

Pro-life? Not by a long shot!
