When Do Lives Actually Matter?
By Issa | News from the Other Side
The Right to Life movement claims to stand for one thing: protecting the lives of the unborn.
They speak with passion about how every baby deserves a chance.
They fight for laws to ban abortion, limit reproductive rights, and punish doctors who provide care.
They say their mission is to protect life at all costs.
But history tells a different story.
Because when we look back just 100 years—or even at today—we see a disturbing truth:
✔ They didn’t care about the lives of Indigenous babies ripped from their families and forced into boarding schools.
✔ They didn’t care about the lives of Black babies who were sold away from their mothers in slavery.
✔ They didn’t care about the lives of immigrant children locked in cages at the U.S. border.
✔ They don’t care about the lives of poor children struggling with hunger, poverty, and failing schools.
The question is:
Do they really believe in the right to life? Or just in controlling it?
The Selective Morality of the Right to Life Movement
If life is sacred, then it should be sacred at all stages, for all people.
But the Right to Life movement only seems to care about life before birth.
✔ They fight to ban abortion—but don’t fight for healthcare for struggling mothers.
✔ They demand women give birth—but don’t support paid maternity leave or child care.
✔ They force pregnancies—but cut funding for food assistance and social programs.
Once the baby is born, they disappear.
Because this movement isn’t about life—it’s about control.
Where Was the Right to Life Movement When…?
If the Right to Life movement truly cared about protecting babies and children, where were they when:
✔ Indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in abusive, church-run boarding schools?
✔ Black children were kidnapped and sold into slavery, treated as property instead of people?
✔ Jewish children were slaughtered in the Holocaust while America turned a blind eye?
✔ Immigrant children were ripped from their parents at the border and placed in detention centers?
✔ Poor children in America were left to grow up in broken schools, unsafe neighborhoods, and underfunded communities?
Where was the outrage then?
If the Right to Life movement truly believed in the sanctity of life, they would be fighting just as hard for:
✔ Universal healthcare for pregnant mothers and newborns
✔ Affordable childcare and education
✔ Stronger protections for marginalized children
✔ Gun reform to stop mass shootings in schools
✔ Ending police violence that kills Black and Brown kids
But they don’t.
Because this movement isn’t about saving lives—it’s about enforcing their ideology.
The Biblical Hypocrisy of the Right to Life Movement
Many in the Right to Life movement claim their beliefs come from the Bible.
But if they actually followed Jesus’ teachings, they would remember:
✔ Jesus protected the poor, the sick, and the outcast—not just the unborn.
✔ Jesus spoke against the rich and powerful, not in support of them.
✔ Jesus said, “Whatever you did to the least of these, you did to me.”
So why does the Right to Life movement ignore the least of these when they no longer serve their political purpose?
They use the Bible as a weapon—but only when it benefits them.
Why This Hypocrisy is One of the Most Destructive Forces in America
The Right to Life movement is not just hypocritical—it is actively harming America.
✔ It forces women into dangerous situations without providing real support.
✔ It divides the country based on religious ideology, not shared values.
✔ It ignores the real suffering of children who are already born.
✔ It fuels political extremism, where policies are based on control—not compassion.
And the worst part?
They claim to be the moral voice of America while ignoring the actual teachings of justice, mercy, and care for the most vulnerable.
Until this hypocrisy is called out and exposed, it will continue to shape policies, laws, and lives.
The Real Right to Life Movement We Need
If we truly believed in the sanctity of life, we would:
✔ Care for all children—not just the unborn.
✔ Fight for healthcare, housing, and education—not just bans on abortion.
✔ Support mothers, fathers, and families—not just control their choices.
✔ Stand against war, poverty, racism, and oppression—not just focus on one issue.
Because the real fight for life doesn’t end at birth.
It begins there.
And anyone who refuses to fight for life after birth isn’t pro-life.
They’re just pro-power.
