Pro-Life Extremists Contradicting the Term ‘Pro-Life’–Again

Sorted under anti-choice extremism on August 9, 2008

The term “pro-life,” for me anyway, is quite simple. Using such a direct term leads people to believe that pro-lifers are all hooray for life. They think life is rad, that it should be cherished and that everything deserves the right to live their lives. This should mean that all life should be cherished and that all people, animals, rodents, insects and on should be given this right, correct?

Well, not quite. Pro-Lifers are very soon to “stand up” for the rights of fetuses, yet I’m sure that they have killed insects that have begun inhabiting their home, have set mouse traps if they’ve ever encountered a mouse running freely through their kitchen, most eat meat, most also support a war that is killing millions of innocent people who don’t deserve to die, oh yeah, and people who are already alive and living their lives such as women (who have and have not had an abortion,) abortion providers and abortion clinic workers are all told that they either should die, will die “and burn in hell,” or pro-lifers feel that they must do “god’s work” and take them out of the equation completely.

The pro-life agenda is made up of scare tactics, bullying and yes, killing people who they believe are doing work that is wrong and that they don’t approve of. In most cases, conservatives make up the majority of the pro-life population and oddly, as we all know, conservatives are also the big backers of the Iraq war–Where millions of innocent people are dying. Given these facts, as well as also simply being delirious and believing that they are doing “god’s work” by spreading their movement, one quality rings loud and clear–Hypocrisy.

pro-life hypocrisy

Once again, the pro-life movement’s real agenda is ringing out loud and clear. As more and more coverage is coming out in the media about the anthrax attacks of 2001, it seems that Bruce Ivins, a bio-defense researcher accused by the Department of Justice of being solely responsible for the anthrax attacks, may have been motivated by personal anti-abortion politics.

Former Senator Tom Daschle and Senator Patrick Leahy, both being Catholics who had voted in favor of abortion rights, were sent letters containing anthrax spores. Ivins, as well as his wife Diane, have very deep roots within the pro-life populace. Diane Ivins has served as president of the Frederick County Right to Life and Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati newsletter that criticized Catholic senators who supported abortion rights was found in the Ivins home.

“Anthrax threats had been used against abortion clinics prior to the attacks Ivins is allegedly responsible for. However, after Daschle and Leahy were targeted on September 18 and October 9, 2001 a flood of anthrax hoaxes were mailed to abortion clinics. As of October 16, 2001, over 170 abortion providers in 14 states and the District of Columbia had received threatening letters claiming to contain anthrax.”

The term ‘pro-life,’ while it may make you think of warm, happy, yay for life thoughts, it is simply a group of people who enjoy the hell out of intimidating and scaring people who don’t believe what they do and if they get really angry, they’ll just go out and kill you, which is evident since pro-lifers have bombed buildings and murdered abortion providers “to save the babies.” So say it with me, folks; pro-life does not mean that you get to go out and kill whoever doesn’t agree with you. Pro-life should mean just that, otherwise, these people should really think about renaming their cult group to “Pro-life for the babies, otherwise you’re fucked.”

  • Pro-lifers, huh? A group of them set off a bomb at a Planned Parenthood clinic (although THAT location did not even DO abortions), and that clinic was exactly blocks blocks from and on the same street as MY BABY'S DAYCARE. They are so pro-life but they would detonate a bomb five blocks from a daycare!! RIGHT!
  • Night Crawler
    This blog entry perfectly describes the frustration that both my husband and I have dealt with regarding these so-called Pro-Life idiots. I could go on an on about this issue, but I think this has summed it all up rather nicely! GOOD JOB!
  • It can really go either way - I'm sure you've met a few pro-choice people who are also active members of PETA...While I see your point, it really bugs me that people think its okay to destroy an innocent baby with a heartbeat but eating an egg (with no heart beat, brain, or other signs of visible "life") is murder.

    There's a lot of hypocrisy out there on millions of subjects. Last night I watched "downsize this" where Michael Moore's going out & talking to corporations - yet he still uses their products, rides in a gm car, etc. etc.

    It's hard to be "perfect" in this screwed up world we live in :)
  • I've always wanted to know... what's so great about babies anyway? I mean, of all the life to be pro-, why babies? They're loud and messy and I notice we've got plenty of 'em around already. It's not like they're endagered or anything. So why not animals or refugees or rape victims? Why not end this stupid war that's taking lives? If you're going to be an activist, why not try being pro some life that really needs your help?
    What's so damn enthralling about human babies that these guys just gotta shove their heads up some woman's skirt and take her body away from her without so much as a by-your-leave? I think they're disturbing- freakin' panty-sniffers.
    Also, I notice none of these fuckers are volunteering to care for the babies they want to force women to have. My opinion: if you don't have a uterus, you don't get to be in charge of any. If you do have one, you get to be the boss of your own and that's it.
    *shakes her head* They should call the group "Bombz for Baybeez"; at least be up front about it.
