Pro-life party my fucking ass.
They are pro-birth, not pro-life.
They're not even pro-birth. Abortions are an important aspect of maternal care. They're anti-women and that's literally all there is to it. Misogyny is all there is to it.
Oh for sure. I figure it's an immature way to take our their anger at anybody, anywhere, who dares oppose an "abstinence only" approach to sex ed, as well as a way to openly threaten the safety of women in general, of course. Pair this with their disgusting views on things like consent and no fault divorce and the pattern is kinda blatantly obvious.
Also, how do they know Jaye-sus won't wave a magic finger and move the ectopic pregnancy / correct the genetic defect that guarantees (+/-) a stillbirth / etc. just in time to save the day? Supporting healthcare that includes access to abortions would be too close to admitting that miracles don't happen and that's bad for the brand.
