You Can’t Be Pro-Life and Against Immigrant Children

You have to remember the actual goal when someone says they are "pro life". People who are pro life are never pro self sacrifice, pro compassion, pro caring for children, pro giving any shits about children, pro surrendering a cent of their own wealth or comfort, pro supporting the poor, pro health, pro sense, pro families, or pro women, pro birth - none of that.

No. Pro lifers are interested in one thing, and only one thing: deriving a sense of personal power and control by enforcing their worldview onto others.

Beyond that singular drive, there is no thought, and certainly no effort. It is all, and only, about forcing others to live their lives within the slim parameters they feel comfortable with, and within which they can feel righteous and powerful.
