If the Republicans really cared about the unborn they need to ensure EVERY woman gets adequate prenatal care...

There is a post further down that talks about women dying in pregnancy...
If the anti-choice supporters really supported unborn life they would ensure that prenatal care was provided for EVERY pregnant woman!!! In our county over 600 women/year do not get prenatal care because we DO NOT have enough providers... They also don't have gas money to get to their appointments-- Women/babies die every year in pregnancy-- If they had good access to prenatal care the numbers could be reduced. I can't tell you how many times that I have seen a woman without care, who is term that comes in with a dead baby... This is a wanted pregnancy... She didn't have an abortion... Once she decided that, then the so called "pro-lifers" don't care!!!
Our infant mortality rate is terrible compared to other countries...
What about children??? The anti choice people work so hard to take care of the unborn.... What happens when children don't have health care??? They die... but this problem doesn't seem to matter... If you really support life, then HEALTH CARE for everyone should be number one on your list... RIGHT???

I said "No, she is very excited about having a baby, she just suddenly found herself homeless and since you are a "Crisis pregnancy center" I thought you could help her..."
Pause at the other end of the phone... "No we would help her only if she was considering abortion-- We help women decide to choose life..." "Our resources are for those women..."

I have had educated women who are in transition choose to abort-- not because they don't want a baby but because they can't afford health care both prenatally and afterwards for the child...
If they cared about life, they would support it.
Yes health care for all, the elderly, the infirm, the pregnant, children all of us.
If they cared about life, they would not be so pro death pro war.
If they cared about life, they could not deny food to children (remember the famous ketchup is a vegetable when threatening school lunch programs!)
If they cared about life, they would understand we live in an imperfect world with families who care as well as families who are dysfunctional. If they cared their policies would provide even for dysfunctional situations rather than just not care.
Our courts and our prisons establish we are yet a perfect society thus we must provide even for the dysfunction because those in situations less than perfect may be children, seniors, embattered spouses, or the disabled.
if they cared.
Perhaps the challenge should be to establish that policies intended only for perfect situations and homes are devoid of merit until we as a society have become perfect and we are not. Thus we must care for those who cannot on their own defend themselves.
Challenge them to establish how they provide for the welfare of all and again challenge them on the huge deficit and what they would do to render the dollar sound!
