If the ¨pro-life¨ movement really cared about life, it would have:
Ended the War on Drugs/Legalized marijuana.
Passed a $15 minimum wage law.
Why? Drugs kill people.
The war on drugs is a massive failure.
Who’s for universal incarceration? Not me, I don’t want to live in a state where everybody’s a slave, either actually locked up or having to pay incredibly high taxes to feed those that are.There is no war on drugs.
If there was a war on drugs, drug traffickers would get arrested and locked up for life. Do that enough, and there would be no drugs on the street. And that would stop at least 100,000 deaths per year.
Did you even watch the video?There is no war on drugs.

Why? Minimum wages are a good thing, but a $15 minimum wage is very high by world standards, and would certainly lead to job losses.
And, for all your other points, the same question applies: why?

Note: I am not here to debate the morality of abortion, but rather, the legality of it and the hypocrisy of the ¨pro-life¨ movement.
I have noticed that the so-called pro-life movement is, for the most part, divorced from reality. It is devoid of critical thinking, empathy, and understanding why people get abortions and is instead full of insults and appeals to emotion. If the ¨pro-life¨ movement really cared about life, it would have:
Instead, the ¨pro-life¨ movement did the exact opposite of what I listed. There is nothing Christian about forcing people to have babies and then ditching them. In addition, they lack empathy towards rape victims.
- Ended the War on Drugs/Legalized marijuana.
- Passed a $15 minimum wage law.
- Got paid maternity leave laws passed.
- Expanded the welfare state.
- Strengthed unions.
- Increased taxes on the rich.
- Provided sex education that was not focused on abstinence.
- Made healthcare single-payer, free, and government funded.
- Opened up borders with Latin America and provided help to undocumented immigrants.

"Pro-life" need not to be taken literally. Its just a title that refers to the anti-abortion position.
This subject has many facets.
Pro-life really means anti-abortion. It doesn't really mean pro LIFE.
It means exclusively pro baby human life. What is the definition of life: is it a baby human only? Why isn't a baby cow or chicken considered "alive"?
Is capital punishment pro-life? Is war pro-life?
Plants are alive but don't have a conscience, so is consciousness a prerequisite for being alive? If so, what parts are important? All creatures have varying levels of consciousness.
So I am not pushing vegan and execution agendas here, but the subjects overlap the pro-life topic.
But we really should not declare ourselves to be pro-life unless we respect ALL life.
