What does it say about a political movement that demands absolute reverence for life in the womb yet shrugs when the government kills, cages, or brutalizes the living?
What does it say about a government-and a political movement-that claims to value the unborn, but once you are born, that concern evaporates?
When life upon birth becomes expendable, subject to force, punishment, neglect, and death so long as it serves "law and order," "national security," or political convenience-when you can be shot by the police state, executed by the police state, starved, surveilled, displaced, raided, abused, or discarded by the police state-and this is treated not as a moral failure but as policy and doctrine, then you're not dealing with a government that is truly pro-life.
