Being Pro-life

Looks good on paper

But that is where

The morality stops

Using fetuses

As an illusion of

Something to protect is

A ruse of responsibility



If one was “Pro” (for) Life

They’d be for all life

All things alive

Inhaling and exhaling

Not just underwater breathers



(Like during the alleged Biblical

“Great Flood”* God’s only creatures

Saved, could breathe underwater)

* Also considered as the first mass global genocide
   So much for God, being pro-life. Hmmmm

Whatever lesson “God” was trying to teach was lost
On dead people, “he” drowned, who could not apply the lesson



“We’re pro-life.” It’s like, well, what does that make me? You know what I mean? You’re so pro-life! You’re so pro-life, do me a fucking favor.

Don’t block med clinics, okay? Lock arms, and block cemeteries. Let’s see how fucking committed you are to this premise.

“She can’t come in.” “She’s ninety-six, she was hit by a bus!” “There’s options!” “What, do we got to have her stuffed? What are you talking about, she’s dead!”

“We’re pro-life, get her out of that casket! Get her out! She’s not going, we’re pro-life people. There’ll be no death on this planet.”

– Bill Hicks




It defies all logic

To be for something and

Against it at the same time

It is akin to declaring

I don’t believe I exist



Besides

If you can make that declaration

Psst, shhhh, don’t tell anyone

They will treat you as if you don’t (exist)



Unfortunately, cognitive dissonance 2 + 2 = 5

Is the dystopian fuel that feeds our futile fire



Funding a pro-life candidate while

Supporting (taxes) a government

That kills people on behalf of

Corporations that need cheap resources

To sell you even more products

In the name of democracy and freedom

That becomes the furthest thing

From being Pro-life

It is actually more Pro-death because

Nary a finger is lifted to prevent it and

Why should anyone? 

It’s good for the economy.  Ooopsie



Unless of course, instead of feeding

The military industrial complex used

To kill people for cheap resources

It could use the same materials for

Housing, high speed rail, food distribution etc.

But that would all fall under the umbrella

Of actually being pro-life by supporting lives

Doing the stuff, Masters of Wisdom would do



“I think in many cases,
your morality
is deeply lacking
if all you want is
a child born,
but not a child fed,
not a child educated,
not a child housed.

That’s not pro life.
That’s pro birth.”

– Sister Joan Chittister



“Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it’

“They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”

Pro-life… You don’t see many of these white anti-abortion women volunteering to have any black fetuses transplanted into their uteruses, do you? No, you don’t see them adopting a whole lot of crack babies, do you? No, that might be something Christ would do. And, you won’t see alot of these pro-life people dousing themselves in kerosene and lighting themselves on fire.

You know, morally committed religious people in South Vietnam knew how to stage a goddamn demonstration, didn’t they?! They knew how to put on a fucking protest. Light yourself on FIRE!!

C’mon, you moral crusaders, let’s see a little smoke. To match that fire in your belly.

– George Carlin

With brilliant minds to make

Mine seem more intelligent”
