Just think if the GOP put as much effort into helping children as they do the fetus

[LynneSin]

Every child born would have a family that has enough money to feed their child and ensure the child's health

Every child would have a top notch education and when graduating high school would have a way of finding the right educational path (from tech school to Ivy League) they desire and affordable student loans

And when that child finally finishes with school there would be good job opportunities which would allow that child, now an adult, a chance to build a life of their own, start their own family, have kids and provide them the same American dream they had.

1. if every child had a loving family and a top notch education

in a few generations there would be no republicans... and they know it.

2. and women

They seem to forget the women were once fetuses.

3. This is my refrain.

Worry about the born children, don't just make them be born and then let them live a horrible life. Life does not end at birth.

5. It's one of the reasons I refuse to call these anti-abortion people 'Pro-Life'

Because life doesn't end once the child is born.

I know there are a few people out there that oppose abortion but still respect life and taking care of the child. Bob Casey Jr comes first to mind because he is well known for opposing abortions but has said there are enough laws on the books for the matter. During the last 6 years he has been one of the more liberal senators out there supporting progressive causes that would help children - Casey is a strong supporter of public education, healthcare and unions. There are few people I would give the pro-life tag to but Casey is one of them.

Also met some nuns I'd also call pro-life. They were oppose to abortion but they also were opposed to war and the death penalty. Figured it was an anti-death thing and they were consistent in their beliefs.

6. A pro- life MO state senator I used to know summed it up

"They only care about them until they're born."

4. They don't even try to 'help' the fetus.

By blocking universal health care, they are dooming many a fetus to health problems, birth defects, abortion, and just plain death.

They don't want to help any living being, born or not.
