Why don't pro-lifers get mad that 6-year-old girl has to do "walk of shame" for not having money?

Because they are two separate issues.

For most people saying they are pro-life or pro-choice is just shorthand for their views on the legality of abortion, not a defining ideology.

Well, did or would you picket, doing what you say others should do?

If not, why not?

I can think of one reasonable reason > you already have enough to do, and you can't spread yourself out too thin. But you can speak for yourself.

I say there could be hypocrisy, but also I would say there are pro-lifers who already have plenty to do, including taking care of their own families and jobs. They choose which cause they have the time to handle, and do not spread themselves too thin and get burnt out.

But I agree that if we are going to push to keep children, we need to help out with taking right care of the children.

Because I am for being pro-love, in which case I would agree with your idea of picketing a school for the reason you mention, except I am already involved with various things > hopefully of loving. I need to do personal loving with people, not only be trying to judge and control what others are doing.

All I'm going to say about the OP is that it really trivializes abortion.

This is acceptable but abortions should be outlawed and women who get abortions should be jailed.

I always hear that there is some kind of Christian backing to the "pro-life" position but I don't think that's true at all. I think "pro-life" is purely political and not based in Christianity, science, or philosophy.

There should be pro-life people at this school right now with signs picketing this kind of evil mammon-worship and child abuse but the fact of the matter is that they just don't care.

Killing the child in the womb is the answer? I dont get your question?

Pro-life" is meaningless anymore.

It just has a limited meaning as it’s a position on one issue, not a wholistic ideology.

I find this thread just as disingenuous as the ones chiding those who are pro-choice for not holding libertarian positions on all issues.

You think death is a preferable alternative to not having enough money???

Perhaps this can be looked at as learning experience for all involved. The school district sends reminders, the child gets a couple of free lunches and then is relegated to the PB and J line. I think lessons can be learned here. The school could:
1 notify the parents they are low on funds ( this they already do)
2 notify the child she is low on funds and will only get two more free lunches before having to get PB and J. (That teaches her some control over destiny,)
3 teach the heads filled full of mush that it's okay for a kid to be nice to someone who had fallen on hard times.
A great opportunity to share the opportunities to of the love of God by sharing their own lunches with her.
We can do all this without picketing.

Yes, that's right- someone would have been better off torn limb from limb (or chemically burned) in the womb than given a chance to live their God-given life. Surely wisdom will die with you. Never have I read such a marvellous defense for genocide before- a Nobel peace Prize may well be in your future.

Since we seem to have decided that being poor is a fate worse than death, I don't think it would be controversial of me to say that all of the homeless and those whose homes have been repossessed should be rounded up and executed. It's for their own good, right?

Ahhh, its time to start A Modest Proposal!

I'll also add that IMO this story doesn't even belong in the news...

What does this thread have to do with pro-life?

You mean “pro birth”?
THAT’S precisely ArmenianJohn’s POINT!
Once the child is born the “Pro-life” folks have no help for the person.

That also raises the question of who looks after the too many children at home that also can’t afford to be fed when the mother goes to jail for trying to prevent more heartache. So much catch 22 about the whole thing. Time to untangle from the world imo. Let the politicians do their worst while individuals do their best that they can to promote God’s love. Which I think reflects very badly on those within the circumference of a thing like this taking place.
