At least we can dump the pretense that the GOP is the ‘pro-life’ party

Pro lifers absolutely give a shit about the child

No, they don't.

First, those are the same people who are protesting for the economy to reopen, literally saying "only 1% of people will die, let the disease run its course". They don't give a shit about life.

Second, they don't care about the child being born to a resentful parent that does not want it. They don't care that the child will be neglected. They don't care that the child was born poor and will not receive any government assistance. Once the child is out of the womb, it's nothing but "low class trash sucking up my tax dollars".

If you cared about the child in any way, you'd support a robust social security/welfare program that ensures no child has to live in poverty, you'd support investment in quality public education so every child has access to a better life, you'd support universal healthcare so that no child would die due to lack of health insurance. But you do the exact opposite, you want to gut government spending in all of those areas.

Saying that republicans care about children is a grotesque, blatant lie. You don't give a shit about the child. Literally the only thing you want to do is punish women for having sex.
