As we prepare to cut one-third of the social services of this country, as we intend to balance the US budget on the backs of women and children for the sake of the affluent and the privileged and ignore the effect budget cuts will make on the lives around us, we have no right to call ourselves pro-life.

U.N. report: With 40M in poverty, U.S. most unequal developed nation — and more than half of those live in “extreme” or “absolute” poverty. The 20-page report by Philip Alston, U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, says U.S. policies benefit the rich and exacerbate poverty. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2018/06/22/UN-report-With-40M-in-poverty-US-most-unequal-developed-nation/8671529664548/
The last surviving member of the Nuremberg trials prosecuting team has said Donald Trump committed “a crime against humanity” with the recent family separation policy. Ben Ferencz, 99, made the comment during a recent interview with outgoing United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein. The lawyer said it was “painful” when he heard about how the Trump administration had separated more than 2,000 children from their families after they had crossed the US-Mexico border. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-border-crisis-nazis-nuremberg-trial-ben-ferencz-family-separation-migrants-un-a8485606.html
Abortion rates have fallen over the past 25 years, even as more countries have made the procedure legal and easier to get, according to a new report released Tuesday.
Countries with the most restrictive abortion laws also have the highest rates of abortion, the study by the Guttmacher Institute found. Easier access to birth control drives down abortion rates, the report also finds.

Trump May Be Anti-Abortion, But He’s Absolutely Not ‘Pro-Life’ – VICE
“PRO LIFE” HYPOCRISY – ENCOMPASSED IN PRO CHOICE IS THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE CHILD
If you’re for the birth until the child turns out black, gay, trans, Muslim, or being carried away to escape from gangs or warfare, and condoning caging separated children, you’re Pro Birth, not Pro Life.
What if we agree that the goal should be to reduce abortions? It’s a matter of accessible programs, contraception for the inevitable, adequate education, and accountability on men as well. What if part of being pro-choice means that women get to decide that they do have the baby? Many men pressure them to have abortions when they actually want the choice. Wealthy and powerful will ALWAYS have access to safe abortion. It mostly affects the underprivileged in lack of safety and resources.

Catholics Shouldn’t Only Care About Abortion While Voting, Texas Bishop Says
“According to the leadership of the evangelical community, the man on the left is the savior of Christianity in America. It is dead without him. He’s pictured here with a porn star.
The man on the right is a Sunday school teacher, and is building homes for the poor with his last breath. The Evangelical leadership, and the so called “moral majority,” succeeded in removing him from office.
Makes you wonder what kind of “Christianity” the evangelical community really wants to protect.” Jason Matthews
