QOTD: A Smackdown Of "Pro-Life" Radicals


“I know some people call themselves pro-life, but pro-life is a propaganda term that isn’t real. Like healthy ice cream and handsome testicles. Get the terminology straight. First of all, these people are anti-abortion, which means they're anti-woman. If these people were actually pro-life they’d be fighting hard for healthcare, childcare, education, gun control and the environment. But these people do not care about life, they only care about birth.” (emphasis added) --  Michelle Wolf, on her Sunday Netflix show, "The Break." The full clip is here.

The corrupt evangelical right wing is all about control over a woman's reproductive choices, preferring that men make the choices and maintain their patriarchal control position in society. If they had a scintilla of concern about real human life, they'd be in the forefront of the fight for healthcare, gun control, etc. They're not, and they never will be.
