In recent weeks, we’ve found ourselves navigating a landscape that feels increasingly dystopian. Ohio and Georgia have enacted laws banning abortions after just six weeks, often before many women even realize they are pregnant, and these laws come without exceptions for rape, incest, or even health concerns. Missouri has followed suit, implementing an eight-week ban, while Alabama has taken a terrifying leap by outlawing all abortions and penalizing anyone involved in the procedure.
The Hypocrisy of the ‘Pro-Life’ Movement
As we grapple with these chilling developments, the glaring hypocrisy of the so-called ‘pro-life’ movement is enough to make anyone’s head spin. If their priority was truly about preserving life, how can they justify the existence of the death penalty? It’s a contradiction that’s hard to ignore. In fact, it seems that a deceased person is afforded more bodily autonomy than a pregnant individual.
While Alabama claims to champion “life,” it’s clear that their priorities are misaligned. If the goal was genuinely to decrease the abortion rate, there are countless more humane and effective methods to achieve that. Once the babies they fight so hard to protect arrive, however, the concern seems to vanish. The same individuals who rally for the unborn often show little interest in what happens to those children once they are born.
The Judgment of Society
And heaven forbid a mother tries to breastfeed in public, facing the judgment of those who profess to care about life. If they genuinely cared, why not adopt similar strategies to those they advocate for in gun control?

Conclusion
In summary, the ‘pro-life’ movement’s actions are often hypocritical, as they prioritize control over compassion and fail to support children and families once a baby is born.
