I’m sympathetic to the pro-lifers who are genuinely philosophically consistent - paid family leave, adoption reform, birth incentive, medical cost coverage, child credit, etc.
this is the thing though, these people don't really exist
the only category i can think of are like some progressive catholics (at least in terms of the church's ideological spectrum)
the modern "pro-life" movement is not even founded on social welfare, it was founded on anti-sex conservatism and hardline christian nationalism as a reaction to religious private schools being forced to de-segregate in the 70s by the carter administration
Yeah I don't disagree by any means. There's a small group of these younger people which exist online and maybe on like college campuses, but yeah you're right these people as a political group don't really exist. I meant it more that I'm sympathetic to that group as an idea than I meant that they are an actual concrete group. Obviously no party in US politics supports that and no "pro life" evangelicals or political pundits really do either.

We were down in Poplar Bluff a couple of months ago, and somebody asked me that question, ‘So you would force a 13-year-old who’s raped by a family member to keep that baby?’” McCloskey, a personal injury lawyer, said at a forum.
“And I said, ‘Yes, and more than that I’ve got that client.’ I’ve got a client who was raped by an uncle when she was 13 years old, had the child; she finished high school, finished college and got a master’s degree. That child she would have aborted finished high school, finished college and now has a master’s degree," he added.
I would say something but I don’t want the thought police at my residence.
