Pro-Life!

Yup.

Maybe not, actually?

These guys just don't cogitate enough for cognitive dissonance to even begin to kick in.

He doesn't want to sacrifice himself, he wants you to sacrifice yourself for him.

You are right, they need to show us how strongly they feel about the needed sacrifices. I would be very impressed.

And that a congressman has-- like the president- little power within the states.

These "conservatives" who were all for States Rights (I guess only when it involves segregation).

Mr. Hollingsworth typifies the Libertarian/sociopathic response to crises.

Because they won't have as many billions if we don't sacrifice our lives for them. As for the American way of life? You mean most of us working our asses off more often than not in toxic work environments where bosses make up excuses every year why we are not getting a raise that will even cover the increasing cost of living, only to barely make rent, bills, groceries? And forget about anything extra like medications we might need or affordable health care. No fucking thank you. I want a different way of life, and I think after all this exposure of our failed economic system and healthcare, millions of Americans do too.

If that's the way it should go, then maybe Mr. Hollingsworth and his family should lead the way with "loss of American lives"...…..

I assume without checking that he is anti-choice. Or as he would put it, pro-life. So . . . how does deliberately sacrificing people to death so that billionaires can continue to make billions square with that approach?

It's very confounding. It's almost as if the anti-choice movement is actually an anti-woman, forced-birth crusade. Can that be so?
