Ever notice that the pro-life republicans and their tangerine dictator love throwing kids into detention centers (concentration camps) while depriving them of medical treatment and needed medicines?

"That outbreak happened largely due to parents not being able to afford to immunize their kids, which led to Congress creating the Vaccines for Children program, which made vaccines free for all uninsured, underinsured, and Indigenous children.
It worked, and by 1992, there were 2,126. In 1993, there were 312, and so on."
"If things keep going at this pace, we’re looking at 6,497 cases this year, the highest rate since the 1989-1991 measles epidemic that led to 55,000 cases and more than 100 deaths."
"Is there anything less surprising than a measles outbreak at the 'March For Life' rally? They love life! ...
Last year, there were 2,267 cases of measles in the United States — a 30-year-high and slightly more than the 285 cases in 2024 or the 58 from the year before. Now, it’s February of 2026 and there have been 733 cases so far."

"The Trump years are similarly giving up the white evangelical game. ...
It’s not just about abortion. The fixation on abortion is revealing of larger tendencies in white evangelicalism—prizing order and control, gravitating toward certainty, simplifying moral complexity—that has made those within it susceptible to authoritarianism."

"At least it’s the one they most often cite, and you would be a fool to take them all at their word. ...
In truth, on the movement level, abortion has always been a fig leaf for other, less defensible issues since the 1970’s, when Religious Right leaders seized on it as a new, politically galvanizing cause, once defending segregation in religious schools became too gauche."

Raised in the household of Southern Baptist missionaries to Africa, Holly Berkley Fletcher knows the "pro-life" ethos of white evangelical Trump voters inside out; she used to promote that ethos herself. Now she's calling the bluff of white evangelical "pro-life" folks on the abortion issue:
"Abortion is THE reason white evangelicals have supported Donald Trump, the basis of their devilish bargain."

Die katholische Kirche gibt mit ihrer Sexualmoral nur eine Menschheitserfahrung weiter: eine glückliche Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau basiert auf dem Willen zum Leben und zur Treue. Auch ist in ihr immer eine Verantwortung für das Fremde des Partners und für das möglicherweise entstehende neue Leben da, aber auch für die Familie als Ganzes. Kinder wären die potentiellen Opfer einer Trennung, denn sie sind auf die Treue ihrer Eltern angewiesen.
Diese Sexualmoral ist Garant des Lebensrechts eines jeden Menschen. #Abtreibung oder Kindstötung waren schon in der frühen Christenheit undenkbar. Es wurde von den Zeitgenossen der antiken Gesellschaft als Differenz zu anderen Religionen so wahrgenommen. Christen standen immer auf der Seite des Lebens, weil ihr Gott das Leben ist. Das christliche Menschenbild kennt keine Dualität zwischen Geist und Leib und das Leben ist ein Geschenk für eine ewige Zukunft.

#SupremeCourt Review Sought by #HighSchool #ProLife Group Over #FreeSpeech Rights
At issue in the case is a high school's refusal to permit a #student pro-life group to post flyers in the school because of the #political content of the flyers. The dispute eventually led to the suspension of the pro-life group for several months.

Die Wichtigkeit von #Sexualität in der #Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau wird von der Kirche betont. In der Ehe findet die geschlechtliche Vereinigung nach Gottes Willen statt. Das ist für die Kirche keine Oberflächlichkeit, ein Vorgang, bei dem sich der Mensch nur gut fühlen soll. Im Geschlechtsakt kann auch immer ein Dritter beteiligt sein: der in ihm möglicherweise entstehende neue Mensch. Eigenverantwortung schließt hier also immer eine unmittelbare Konsequenz ein, die man zu tragen bereit sein muss. Es ist eine Verantwortung, die den Menschen als selbstbestimmtes, freies Wesen ausweist, der kein Sklave seiner Triebe.
Es ist keine Eigenverantwortung, die von Anbeginn die Tötung menschlichen Lebens billigend in Kauf nimmt. Sie kann dem zum Guten hin orientierten christlichen Gewissen keinen Maßstab bieten. Die Sexualität eines freien Menschen sieht nicht nur auf sich, sondern auch auf den Ehepartner und auf die Folgen.

Yesterday Catholic VP Vance defended the use of a five-year old boy in Minnesota as "bait" to entrap his family, and the detainment of that child by ICE.
It has just been announced that Vance has been invited to address the upcoming "March for Life" which purports to be about defending the sanctity of life and has strong support by Catholic and other Christian leaders.

One of those problems where we know the solution - but there's no profit incentive, I guess. Wonder why the #ProLife community isn't pushing for solution.

"Good once was a child. She was born. She grew into an adult whose free will led her to observe ICE enforcements. Yet, where her killing is concerned, the vice president gives no sign of his respect for her free will or her life. Neither does he show any compassion for her family."
Steve Millies asks Catholics and others who, citing religious belief, voted for and support Trump claiming he's "pro-life,"
"After Renee Good, are you really going to keep pretending Trump and Vance are pro-life?"
As to the Catholic vice-president Vance:
Oft sind es dieselben, die kritisieren, dass die katholische Kirche Maria als Gottesmutter eine zu große Würde zukommen lassen, und zugleich behaupten, die Kirche habe ein negatives Frauenbild. Doch Frauen werden in der Kirche hoch verehrt, nicht nur Maria, es gibt Kirchenlehrerinnen und eine Vielzahl von weiblichen Glaubensvorbildern.
Ab dem 13. Jahrhundert förderte die Volksfrömmigkeit besonders die Marienverehrung in der Kirche. Maria wird zum Sinnbild der Frau und Mutterschaft zum Ideal von Weiblichkeit, wie Gott sie wollte. Es war die Zeit der Minnesänger, die Frau wurde allgemein höher geschätzt, aber auch der katharischen Häresie, welche Familie und Schwangerschaft als teuflisches Werk ansah. Die Kirche stärkte deshalb in jener Zeit die Sexualität, Ehe, Schwangerschaft, Mutterschaft und Familie.

On the Fundamental Inconsistency of The Pro-Life Argument
I believe there is considerable evidence that most people who proclaim themselves pro-life are not actually even remotely consistently pro-life.
And this is generally the case even for people who are pro-life and also vegan anti-war pacifists opposed to the death penalty (and even this alone would be a veeeerrry small number of people).
The reason? Well, I'm going to give the most robust argument I know of regarding forcing the birth of a fetus based on preserving their life, and then show that this argument is generally considered unacceptable in other relevant contexts.
The most robust argument I know of for the pro-life position is this:
1. The risk of pregnancy to the life of the pregnant person is considerably less than the risk of abortion to the life of the fetus (often true).
2. Since I value life above all else, including bodily autonomy, denying the the pregnant person their bodily autonomy to force them to birth the fetus is therefore the lesser evil.
Here's why this argument is fundamentally inconsistent with what most people consider morally acceptable in other contexts:
Say someone has lost both kidneys. This person is not able to stay on dialysis indefinitely, and dialysis is determined to be far more risky for them than having a healthy functioning kidney. They need a kidney. It should be easy to find a healthy donor. You just need to force a bunch of people to come in and do some testing to determine compatibility, find the lowest risk donor in that group, and then force that person to donate one kidney. Problem solved, right?
Except you might have trouble finding many 'pro-life' people who would advocate for this position...
