If this country was pro-life, everything would be free. Nobody would have to pay for groceries, or medicine, or cars, or houses, or clothes, or internet access, or phone service, or massage chairs, or AA batteries, or parking, or anything else. All those things would be provided by the right-wing agenda if it was really concerned with life.
But it’s not. Obviously!
If right-wingers cared about life, they would hand out bus passes and organic produce at the DMV. They would give every citizen and non-citizen a starter home with granite countertops and a pool overlooking the ocean, in an upscale neighborhood with neighbors of every ethnic possibility right next door. They would provide two hypoallergenic golden doodles, housebroken, and pre bonded to the children. Everyone would receive a winning lottery ticket and backstage passes in any venue that has a stage.
You can tell how much someone cares about life by how much free stuff they think the government should give you.
The true test of compassion is how aggressively they spend other people’s money on your behalf.
Free health care alone doesn’t cut it. Without universal housing, universal income, universal transportation, universal meal delivery, universal therapy llamas, universal coffee subscriptions, universal social media managers, universal spa memberships, universal guaranteed contentment and happiness—the ‘pro-life’ label is a joke.
“John, you jerk! That’s impossible! Everything can’t be free!”
Looks like we’ve found a right-winger!
“How will we pay for that?” is code for “I only care about myself.” You COULD provide everything to everyone if you really wanted to but you’re lazy. You won’t even take the time to post a cynical meme to social media. And you have the gall to call yourself ‘pro-life?’
(1 Thessalonians 4:11) But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
