The very fact that they have very high levels of concern and care for a developing fetus, and expecting mothers, yet don’t give 2 shits about the mothers or the babies AFTER they are forced to term. You MUST have that baby, but no, you can’t have access to free/affordable medical care for yourself or the developing fetus. No you can’t have government assistance for food to feed it. No the fetus we loved may not have access to free/affordable medical care after birth. No, we’re not going to ensure the child has great education and a shot at a good life. FFS, they’d take away the free lunch programs at schools if they could.

If they gave 1/100th the care and concern for babies actually brought to term, their arguments might have just a smidgen of weight.. but their words and actions prove they don’t give a shit about children once they are out of the womb, and it is just about measures to control women.
