Why Does the Pro-Life Movement Align w/the Pro-Death Party?

Thousands attended the annual mecca to the nation's capital on Friday to "March for Life." It's an anti-abortion rally that's held in Washington, DC every year going all the way back to 1974. You can tell they really believe it's an issue of life and death as every poster, slogan, and speech is soaked with the word "life." It's called the "March for Life." Can we really trust the "sanctity of human life" with a political party that puts gun sales ahead of the lives of 1st graders? Only when the so-called pro-lifers in the Republican Party begin to respect not just the life of a cluster of cells in a woman's womb, but also the life of the woman herself, and her working class husband's life, and her gay or lesbian aunt's life, and her child who will have to inherit this warming planet's life, and her Afghan or Iraqi friend abroad's life - only then - will they genuinely be pro-life. But until that day, Republicans are just marching for death.

Many pro-lifers are poorly educated, gun-packing Christians with extra time on their hands. Many don't give two hoots and a holler about life. Phony assholes...I cannot understand how some one can be both pro-war, pro death penalty and also pro-life. It makes no sense.

Im a guy so can't have a Abortion, never got anyone pregnant-we use b/c or condoms. Im considering a Vasectomy due to Human Population control (look up "Earth Clock" scary stats) We've also considered Adopting since TONS of kids-teens are in Foster Care. We went to "open house" for it but only 5 people showed up-gay couple, old single + us. Where r religious prolifers-I support if u Adopt!

Also PRO-LIFERS support FACTORY FARM long term suffering/abuses of ~100 mammals/yr MEATVideo dotcom WATCH

Because the Repubs want a POLICE STATE! but unlike the Dems, they want to take it to a whole new level where they can control what we think and want to do with our bodies and that's what this country has fought against for so many years. Do you really want to live in that kind of society?

Libertarians killed 10 million people? Kinda like the Gold standard caused hyper inflation? `HAHAHA!!!`

[MasterOfSparks]

Its nice to get a response from someone who is informed and capable of forming intelligent thoughts. I usually just hear from conservatives who, of course, have neither trait.

MORON.Go google

'Demographics of Russia - Wikipedia'

And scroll down to the figures. Now DURING STALIN there is a red year.Now scroll down to the start of SHOCK THERAPY around 1992 AND LOOK AT THE RED! LIBERTARIAN ideology was FORCED down their throats and look at the death tolls. The rest is PARTLY true (china could NOT implode the economy moron) - someone needs to stand up to the US before they kill us all - the weak ignorant American population have voted a VERY nasty ideology and PSYCHOPATHS

No, Russia has the bomb and does not let us forget it. If we killed a dozen Russians, the ICBMs would be launched. Reagan didn't "win the cold war" and Gorbachev didn't end it. Our global empire is on perpetual trial by Putin, and Russia is allied with China, India and Iran. If our abuse of the Iranian people continues, Russia and China will retaliate. China will implode our economy (in a matter of hours) and Russia will nuke us. Iranians are peaceful people and Ahmadinejad is morally sound.

No, just those bound by mythology, see also Muslims, Incas, Aztecs, etc. Gods love blood. Aborted fetuses seldom bleed; when they do, it's hardly a pint. Christianity, like most religions, is rooted in ancient Egyptian myth. Horus and Set would be proud of all the death and suffering endured on behalf of their present worshiped personas.

Answering the title question: Because practicing religion is not yet prohibited and punishable by death. Religion, and the bigotry, sexism, hate and ignorance it's founded on is the only thing wrong with the GOP. Eliminate Religion, debt-based currency and fractional reserve banking and the GOP would be able to usher in a new age of capitalist utopia that would make even Adam Smith himself revel in awe.
