Why don't the "all lives matter" people use this phrase to oppose the death sentence?

I appreciate what your saying....and I'm not trying to be argumentative...but the same could be said for unborn rights. There's a great article in the Arizona Times (Feb 2020) highlighting the high abortion rate among African American women. We can argue endlessly about the pros/cons of abortion or the socio/economic forces that drive these numbers....but in theory and principle - shouldn't aborted babies matter as much? Family planning and adoption should be advocated by BLM no? Again, I'm not projecting my beliefs just maybe preparing you for some alternative views.

@luctoretemergo Ι know... I've heard these arguments about black people having abortions in high rates etc. But what I'm asking is very specific. If the unborn's lives matter and all lives matter etc... don't the criminals' lives matter as well? I don't want people to come up with new arguments without answering my question first. It seems like they won't though.
@luctoretemergo It’s not like those fetuses exist in a vacuum. Their mothers’ lives matter, too.

Also, no one who says “all lives matter” actually believes it. It’s basically their way of saying “fuck BLM.” No one said all lives matter before BLM was a thing.

I’m a strong opponent against the death penalty, but I might just use that phrase as a joke next time I find myself arguing against it. 😆

@Carver hahaha yeah, it will blow people's minds 😅 basically it will be used for a good cause like that rather than a lame argument against BLM.
Carver · 31-35, F
@HannibalAteMeOut Yeah, I used to say "all lives matter", but let's just say after it was put into perspective, I don't support it anymore.

@Carver some people have ruined it 🖤

η βαρετή απάντηση είναι το ότι προσπαθούν να ωραιοποιήσουν τον ρατσισμό και την ηλιθιότητα τους :p Οι άλλες που είδα εδω μ αρέσουν πιο πολύ

Really, why don't those who say ALM use the phrase to oppose all the terrible issues humanity is facing right now?
Black lives may matter.. but panda lives still matter the most.

HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Biffed do they? I only hear this as opposed to "black lives matter".
Biffed · 26-30, M
