In the womb must live. Out of the womb, eh fuck em....

"The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

-Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

They don't even actually care about in the womb. Something wrong with the fetus and you don't have health insurance? Fuck you and your baby, lady.

This is acceptable to them. They did their job by forcing birth. It's not the GOP's problem after that, as they don't care about the infant mortality rate.

Well, for politicians, all those "protected lives" will eventually grow up into potential voters. And seeing how they're pushing religion and conservative values into schools today, guess who the future might be in favor for?

The more you push hard line religion the fewer converts that religion will have. Gen X started a massive rejection of religion that has grown year by year to where Zoomers ate projected to be the least religious in American history.

That's why the need to push back. There are many countries where religion has infiltrated every level of education (mostly muslim majority countries), and the whole nation regressed into conservatism which eventually effect the laws and rights of the minorities. Child indoctrination is real, and once put into motion it will be very hard to make a turn.
