I believe the GOP chose the pro-life moniker in a flimsy reach for the moral "high ground," implying that to be otherwise is to be pro-death.

How's that working for them, BTW?

The GOP is running away from the pro life thing, and trying to rebrand themselve.

Yep, and they wouldn't let kids starve, They would support SNAP, and WIC.

Frank Luntz made an art out of Orwellian language, where words that sound nice, mean the opposite. like family values and pro life. The phrases have nothing to do with life and family values, unless by family values is meant Augustus Caesars law of Pater Familia, in which the father had life and death control over wife and kids.

William you know better than that. They're trying to lie to make people think that they are other than idiots. They make no sense let's face facts. They, and I mean the entire Republican machinery, are at this point nothing but a bunch of liars just like their boss, I mean mob boss, Donald the rump. Without a doubt I have determined that they ARE the criminal elements in our society.

The term pro-life is a lie. The term baby in this case is a lie because they're calling a baby what is really a fetus or even an embryo. Check your dictionary folks baby happens after birth. When a fetus is born it becomes a baby. If they were pro-life they would be pro a woman's life. They would be pro a family's life. They are neither. They are wild-eyed hypocrites and morons who twist language as if it were some kind of sausage. These I'm sorry to say are the Christian vangelicals and the Republican party that supports them.
