Basically the religious right are obsessed with women’s bodies and want to control their sexuality. As someone else said, if it was actually concern for babies, they wouldn’t consistently vote against funding for prenatal care for low-income women, head start education and school lunches for children.
They’d be the ones making it easier for low income women to choose not to terminate their pregnancies, rather than forcing them to give birth with no support system in place. And they complain about the public assistance that is provided.
They certainly wouldn’t vote against accessibility to birth control, to help so that unwanted pregnancies would be less likely to happen.
And I firmly believe that nobody can legitimately call themselves "pro-life” and support the death penalty, because that is the state-sanctioned killing of a living, breathing human being. There’s no way around that—when they’re strapped to a chair or gurney and you’re about to inject them, it’s not self-defense.
