You are pro-life until that life wasn’t born in America.

You are pro-life until that life isn’t white.

You are pro-life until that life isn’t rich.

You are pro-life until that life is LBGTQ+.

You are pro-life until that life is a young single mother.

You are pro-life until that life doesn’t have a job; is homeless; needs food, shelter, clothes, money.

You are pro-life until a child is born into a world stacked against them and then you say “don’t blame me, they chose to have a child.”

Where you see opportunities to make more money there are lives being ruined. You use your religion to oppose gay marriage and abortion but where are these so-called morals when it comes to the treatment of immigrants and minorities? Jesus loves those who are different from him. He lived with them, embraced them, even died for them. Jesus himself was an immigrant, just like the people that are currently being persecuted in America. But you continue to support Donald Trump.

Don’t become complacent. Pro-life doesn’t end in the womb, no one is less deserving of freedom because of where they were born, how they look or who they love.

We are all human.
