On Abortion and the Virus

Have you noticed that it has been self-proclaimed “pro-life” people who are effectively saying that old people should take one for the team and die from the virus for the sake of the economy and the Trump re-election campaign? Do you think that is an aberration?

It isn’t. While the handful of Christian Democrats who remain in the GOP can legitimately describe themselves as “pro-life,” Reactionaries have a completely different agenda. Most of them support cutting the safety net, including medical services, for the poor, the highest possible barriers to immigration for refugees, and the death penalty. If that makes you “pro-life,” then I’m Mitch McConnell.
