Namaste and welcome to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my thoughts and opinions. I hope this day finds you well and in good spirits. Let's jump down this rabbit hole of a topic...
I want to start by stating unequivocally that there is a grand canyon sized gap between those that are pro-birth vs those that are pro-life as it pertains to abortion. My blog today is NOT about abortion, but all the other avenues of being "pro-life".
Second, I've NEVER met anyone that was PRO-DEATH in my lifetime.
Pro- LIFE includes, but may not be limited to:
The life of unborn babies
The life of born babies
The lives of mothers of unwanted pregnancies
The lives of mothers who planned their pregnancies
The lives of those who suffered at the hands of rape or incest
The lives of political opponents
The lives of pre-school age children
The lives of school age children
The lives of students and their teachers
The lives of immigrants and citizens
The lives of men
The lives of women
The lives of minorities
The lives of Americans
The lives of non-Americans
The lives of the working class
The lives of the college educated
The lives of the non- or under-educated
The lives of the straight/binary
The lives of the LGBTQIA+
The lives of foreigners living in their home countries
The lives of Native Americans
The lives of blacks
The lives of Hispanics and Latinos
The lives of Asians
The lives of Africans
The lives of Europeans
The lives of South Americans
The lives of North Americans
The lives of Australians
The lives of Aboriginal people
The lives of those with mental illness
The lives of those crippled by disease or accidents
The lives of those born with congenital problems
The lives of those who have Covid
The lives affected by the pandemic/ lock downs and are still struggling to catch up
The lives of those working in the food, hospitality, and service industries
The lives of those still waiting for a bailout
The lives of our neighbors
The lives of our friends
The lives of our families
The lives of complete strangers
The lives of the homeless
The lives of substance abusers
The lives of straight-edgers
The lives of our military service members and their families
The lives of police that put their safety on the line for ours
The lives of veterans, who so many have their lives to protect the freedoms so many take for granted
The lives of billions of animals slaughtered annually
The lives of Hindus
The lives of Muslims
The lives of Christians
The lives of Jews
The lives of Protestants
The lives of Sikhs
The lives of Atheists and Agnostics
The lives of Pagans
The lives of spiritualists and all other non-Abrahamic religions including Satanists
The lives of leftists
The lives of right-wingers
The lives of moderates
The lives of those you know
The lives of those you will never meet
The lives of those who do services for you
The lives that your generosity has touched, but you will never receive anything in return.
The lives of the innocent
The lives of those who have committed crimes (unless they have been deemed by a jury of their peers to be irredeemable to society due to their heinous acts of murder, rape, and violent acts toward others, imo)
You can't be pro life AND be pro war, pro police brutality, pro bigotry/prejudices, etc.
