Awkward Silence After MSNBC Anchor Interrupts Reporter Who Said 'Pro-Life'
Andrea Mitchell told Garrett Haake the term was "not an accurate description." Haake said he was just quoting a GOP lawmaker who'd used it to describe herself.www.yahoo.com
True, you’re allowed to call your movement (that doesn’t call for increased funding for food, outright monetary support, (paid) parental leave or anything to “help” new (or even old) parents anything whatsoever) whatever you like. So “pro-life” it is!
Yes, because none of those things are "pro-life".
Yes, Casey redefined Roe and got away from the “trimester” system and went with “viability” to demarcate where a woman’s right to “choose” began to end and the state could force her to bear a child. (Unpaid, of course, a violation of the 13th Amendment. Huh.)This narrative that pro life people do not support any form of aid for single mothers etc. is standard narrow woke mindset. Many pro life people have also supported social welfare policies for people struggling with poverty. In my home state of Pennsylvania, the late pro life ( democrat!) governor Robert Casey was such an example.
Casey was best known for leading the anti-abortion wing of the Democratic Party, taking the lead in fighting Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a major Supreme Court case that upheld almost all the prohibitions on abortion that Casey signed into law. He championed unions, believed in government as a beneficent force, and supported gun rights.[3]
Casey brought what he called an "activist government" to Pennsylvania, expanding health care services for women, introducing reforms to the state's welfare system, and introducing an insurance program for uninsured children (which became a model for the successful SCHIP program later adopted nationwide). House Bill 20, entitled the Children's Health Insurance Act, created the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in Pennsylvania. According to PA's CHIP website, "Pennsylvania's CHIP program would later be used as the model for the federal government's SCHIP program. Legislation for the federal CHIP program was signed into law August 5, 1997 by former President Bill Clinton."[15

If pro-choice is simply "pro-elimination of life in the womb" and nothing else, it's pro death. Own it.
1 out of 3 deaths during childbirth are preventable according to the CDC... Which decreases the 0.017% of deaths down to 0.005% of deaths from childbirth in the United States.
The leading cause is suicide/drug overdose. Which can be found in the link under "key findings".
Um, what? Are you saying that the one in three deaths during childbirth is due to suicide and drug overdose? I find that implausible. What I found in your CDC article was:The leading cause is suicide/drug overdose. Which can be found in the link under "key findings".
There are 800 deaths in the US each year during childbirth. Which is 17 out of every 100,000.
