Currently prolifers elect unborn above the born 143 million orphaned children (1), world peace (2), ending slavery (Walmart: the high cost of low prices), valuing family businesses and family farms. These same people who call themselves prolife elect in support of war killing 1 million men, women, and children in Iraq, not counting unborn (2). Prolifers shop in support of unpatriotic big business relocating US jobs to abroad child slavery sweatshops, where children work 16 hours a day 7 days a week for pennies(3). If pro-newborns is going to use the broad name prolife, they better look full spectrum to world peace, ending slavery, adopting Orphans, valuing small family business and family farming. Start valuing orphaned children and women as much as newborns.

The pro-life movement is just one extreme. The other extreme is those who want a twelve year old girl to be able to obtain an abortion without parental consent, or at least judicial consent, or for a woman to be allowed to abort a full-term pregnancy, just because she "changed her mind."
Both sides are just so wrong on this issue. If we could just find some middle ground, together with reasonable views on birth control, there would be fewer abortions, but they'd be available when appropriate.

I am pro-life. I never supported the war. I am awaiting approval right now to be a foster parent. I don't shop at Walmart ever since I saw a documentary on PBS where the girl who sewed the stripes on track pants made less in one week than a pair of track pants cost. 11.88 to be exact. They flew her here and took her to a Walmart so she could see and she stood there in the Walmart crying. I don't think the world is ready for a global economy. Did you know in Jamaica it is cheaper to buy imported bananas than bananas grown in Jamaica. In the documentary 'Life and Debt' a Jamaican dairy farmer pours hundreds of gallons of milk out on the ground because he can't sell it before it spoils. These people are obviously not benefitting from a global economy. Big business ruins people's lives. Not least by perpetuating the lie that possessions and appearances matter more than time with family and defending and protecting people who are helpless.
Check out Warm Blankets Orphan Care. It is a charity run by pro-life christians. They are wonderful and inspire me to be more and more involved with my time and my money. Here is thier mission statement.
Warm Blankets Orphan Care is a non-profit Christian mission, dedicated to the rescue of orphans and widows through third world church planting and orphanage outreach.
Some prolife people are behaving badly but not all. In fact I don't know how many pro-life people you are in close relationships with but I would even say that most prolife people I know don't even minutely resemble your description. But no matter what these people are doing you yourself can make a huge difference if you apply your money and talents in the right places.

I'm pro-life...I think abortion's a horrible thing, but pro life is more than just anti-abortion.
Less poverty = less abortions.
I'm also pro-life in the fact that American lives should not be sacrificed in Iraq on behalf of the multi billion dollar companies making a fortune there.

You don't have to be prolife or prochoice to support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan or unknowingly support "unpatriotic big business relocating US jubs to abroad slavery sweatshops".

Yes.
And I find it strange that many are also in favour of gun freedom's as guns kill. Have a look at the other things that the 'christian' right seem to be complicit in below with the lack of provision of health care.

You have to remember that the "prolife" stance is not based on science, fact or logic. It is a religious dogma and therefore makes no real "sense" as you try to portray it. It is a belief, not a rational system of thought. It is like trying to explain "angels" or "hell".

there is no end to the contradictions and hypocrisy of the pro-life movement.
they care more about fetuses than full term children and human beings.
the foolishness of thinking that somehow death is "deserving" to some but not others is ridiculous. this is what happens when your opinions are rooted in nebulous "moralities" rather than hard scientific fact. the pro-lifers do not argue that murder is wrong, only that "babies" don't deserve death, while criminals, etc. do. even when their own religious texts contradict them, they persist in defending that which is not yet human, yet depriving other humans of life. i have no idea how a philosophy could become so twisted.

God would be our gentle Revelation 21:23 - the city (speaking of heaven) would not choose the sunlight or the moon to polish on it, for the dignity of God supplies it gentle, and the Lamb (Jesus) is its lamp.

Who said I was pro-life... I am for the death penalty.
What I am is ANTI-ABORTION.... You know the killing of an innocent baby that has done nothing to deserve the fate of a vacuum machine.
What does it say about a political party that will kill a baby, yet save the life of a convicted mass murderer... What a twit.....

i find it EQUALLY ironic when pro-choice murderers are all for the care and well being of living children, but want to kill those innocent babies that haven't been given a change to grow
