Ok, Pro life is not pro life we probably already know that. Pro lifers regularly are found in favor of the death penalty. (You know who you are Mr. Perry and friends) but let us just be completely honest about pro life. It is an untenable, and completely impossible standard. All life ultimately ends and all living animals need the food produced by living organisms to survive, so unless you are ready to stop eating . . . oh that's right without food we die . . .
Pro life sounds good. Moral high ground and all of that, but at its heart it is a lie and without completely abandoning reason cannot be taken seriously. Of course abandoning reason is nothing new to the the pundits of Right. They have already taken as gospel that less taxes equal more revenue when they really mean "Don't tax us. Instead tax the poor and let them pay for their poverty twice."
All we ask is a little integrity and honesty in the political process, but that is probably as unrealistic as pro life itself.
