Why do "pro lifers" remain silent when theirs a mass shooting?

Because they’re [b]hypocrites[/b] ?
Just like they’re rarely against capital punishment, and aren’t that vocal about feeding hungry children.
They couldn’t generally care less about actual [b]lives[/b]—living, breathing people.
But they’re most interested in controlling women’s and girls’ reproductive choices. 😞

@bijouxbroussard Wellllll....I think I have to make one of my rare defenses of my former church. The pro life movement was not always associated with evangelicals. It was initially a Roman Catholic movement....and the church has a strong history of opposing capital punishment and has fed numerous children. I won't defend them often, but I also oppose capital punishment.
@originnone I was also raised Catholic and I knew people who were actually consistent; they held food drives, took in children, and they didn’t fight against social programs that provided school lunches and Head Start classes. And people with whom I grew up weren’t bullying and threatening people in front of Planned Parenthood. All of that came much later.
