All I'm going to say about the OP is that it really trivializes abortion.
No. The solution is to be pro-life throughout the lives of all people so that anti-abortion measures can be justified through actions instead of hollow platitudes and cliches.So the solution is to kill them before they are born.
What does this thread have to do with pro-life?

No more than trying to be aware of every child out there who is treated poorly.None. Is that a requirement?
And how are you doing that?No. The solution is to be pro-life throughout the lives of all people so that anti-abortion measures can be justified through actions instead of hollow platitudes and cliches.
I don't picket at all, but if I were to go out and proclaim a message out loud and randomly of any kind it would not be political, it would be the Gospel.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.
Implying that pro-lifers don't volunteer.I don't picket at all, but if I were to go out and proclaim a message out loud and randomly of any kind it would not be political, it would be the Gospel.
I'm talking about the pro-life people who have all day on the weekends to protest outside an abortion clinic but do not care about things like the story I posted. I don't expect those who don't currently protest to start protesting.
But by that same token even many (most? all?) in here who spend a lot of time being anti-abortion are silent on these issues that affect the already-born. I expect them to be voicing pro-life opinions when it comes to the elderly and children and the sick and the poor. But they don't, they stick to unborn babies. That's the point.
So all I'm saying is whatever a pro-lifer does should be not centered on abortion but on all aspects of the lives of people, otherwise they're not "pro-life" so much as just "anti-abortion".
School made six-year-old girl do "cafeteria walk of shame" to return lunch because she didn't have enough money
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.
I’m thinking his reply to the circumstances was more in accordance with equality in the playing field so that what is feuling abortions is also dealt with.Did you call the school and voice your disapproval? Would you like the phone number to the school so you can call the school and gripe someone out? I can give you the number, if you would like.
And since you're complaining about other people who are pro-life in this thread, I would like to know what YOU have done exactly since you said you are pro-life too. What specific actions have YOU taken to live up to your own profession of being pro-life? It's obvious that you are more than willing to point a judgmental finger at other pro-life people, but I would like to know what YOU have done that would make me not think that you're not as hypocritical as you accuse other pro-life people of being when it comes to living up to your own profession of being pro-life. Let's compare notes, shall we?

If you have man, you have problem.If pro-lifers cannot do everything possible to protect every citizen against any and all injustices, we should just shut up and let babies be aborted. Fewer babies equals fewer injustices.

Yah another cache 22I know that. I also know that there are some people who like to point a judgmental finger at other people when they aren't even living up to the expectations they try to impose on those people.
No.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.

No, they're not. If you cared to know anything about Christianity at all, you would know that murder is never justified.If Christian ideas about the afterlife are accurate dead children and babies are a good thing.
