Molly, IMO pro-life means taking care of the mother (while she is still alive) AND taking care of babies that result from pregnancies, especially ones where the mother can't afford to have the child, or she carried a rapist's child to term. They don't believe in any of that; they just believe in total control over women. I also feel compelled to point out that if a woman dies while pregnant, before 24 (I think that's correct) weeks of gestation, the baby dies too.

This is about control not compassion. If Trump and the Prolife folks cared about babies there would be generous leave for new parents, food, well baby care, shelter and all the needs for every baby born in the United States. Prolife sounds better than antiabortion, a PR or marketing change.

I know, Molly. The marketing change is just another lie, and I feel sick every time I hear a male person say "I'm pro life all the way", when I know they aren't.

What happens to a pregnant woman’s body is no one’s business except hers with the advice of her physician. To not have the autonomy of one’s own body, that is slavery.

I agree completely.
