Are you Pro-Life???



I hear so many people claim they are pro-life, and then those same people tolerate so many anti-life behaviors. It’s time to call these people what they really are: Anti-Abortion, but NOT Pro-life!

What would a real Pro-Life person look like?

They would fight for the hungry. They would never tolerate their country denying food to those who cannot afford food on their own.

They would fight against war. When war is fought to defend the lives of the citizens of our country, then that may be necessary, but when was the last war fought, here in the U.S., defending Americans from harm?

They would demand the abolition of the death penalty. People claim it is “justice”, but it isn’t justice, it is revenge. And sadly, innocent men have been executed, even since DNA testing has become common. Not all cases have DNA evidence. Anyone who values life could not conscionably allow death sentences. If they are Jewish or Christian, what happened to “Thou shalt not murder”?  That’s what execution is! And when there is even the slightest chance that an innocent person might be killed, how can anyone who claims to be Pro-Life allow his to happen?  Once a person is executed, we cannot bring them back!

They would be against homelessness. Not in the sense that we should ban homelessness, but that something needs to be done to help those who cannot afford a place to live. Anyone who claims to be a Pro-Life person could not stand to know that people freeze to death in the winter and die from the heat in the summer because they have no place to live.

Pro-Lifers claim to be against abortions, and yet these same people cheer the government when they refuse to give birth control to women to help them from becoming pregnant. And any politician who claims IUDs are abortifacients, when the manufacturers assure us that is not what they do, how dare those politicians claim to be Pro-Life.

They would NEVER tolerate, or make excuses for our government violating the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners. How can you claim to be Pro-Life, when you approve of torture that could easily end a person’s life, or at the best, make life intolerable?

They would demand universal healthcare for all, if they were truly Pro-Life. You cannot pick and choose who gets healthcare and claim that you value human life. Everyone deserves the same fighting chance.

They would not support lax gun laws that allow people to wander the streets with guns risking lives with their stupidity, mental health issues, or even homicidal thoughts. They would ask our government to keep guns out of the hands of people who are not mentally stable. They would want guns to stay out of the hands of those who have already shown violent tendencies.

They would not force a young girl to carry the seed of a man who raped her. They would understand that everyone has to live with their own decisions, and that it is not their place to make decisions for anyone without their permission

They would not tolerate churches who turn away the hungry and the homeless. The reason churches are tax exempt is so that they will use that money to help society. Not so that their pastors can live in mansions and fly on private jets.

A REAL Pro-Lifer would strive for EVERYONE to have a quality life. Not humdrum, not intolerable, not just surviving. A person who values life would not believe that “just barely surviving” was acceptable.


So, are you really a Pro-Life believer? 
Did you cheer when watching “The Sniper” when he killed women and children?
Do you feel “justified” when a prisoner is executed?
Do you approve or our Congress trying to prevent peaceful treaties with other countries?
Do you applaud when civilians are bombed?
Do you ignore starving children?
Do you turn away from the homeless and go about your business?
Do you think homelessness, hunger, poverty, and poor health are everyone else’s problem, but not yours?
Do you believe our laws should be so strongly against abortion that a young girl could die giving birth to a baby? Or, a woman who was raped should be forced to carry that child? Would you rather a woman kill herself, because it is the only way to avoid carrying a child that she knows she could never support?
Do you support countries who treat some of their citizens as second class, just because they are not the same color, religion, ethnicity, or sex?
Do you support laws that hold you higher than other citizens in our own country?
Do you believe there are people that are “beneath” you?
Do you only support those who follow your religion?
Do you hold grudges against others, and believe people only get one chance in this life to get things right?


If you said Yes, to any of the above questions, you aren’t Pro-Life. You are an uncaring individual. You do not hold life as sacred. You hold your beliefs as more important than others’ beliefs. And, if you are ‘well off’ and you have done nothing to help those less fortunate, you are the PROBLEM our society faces today.  You are disgraceful!

  1. Absolutely agree! Also, how can people eat our companions and call themselves "pro-life?" Ridiculous.
