While some anti-abortionist

 

While some anti-abortionist are actually speaking from a compassionate moral stance, whether we agree with them or not, they are in a minority. This issue has brought together previously compassionate people of religion and moralistic self-righteous political right-wingers. The end result, or the un-aborted child of this union is the gun owning, bible toting, pro-war anti-tax/tithing republican party of today.
The compassionate concern for the unborn child has been smothered by the rhetoric of the right wing and the leaders of the religious right [the Pharisees] who have in turn handed the keys to the temple over to the corporate [money changers] of modern day America.
Conception to delivery concerns give way when the newborn becomes a cradle to the grave liability.
Remember when federal funding for abortion clinics were discontinued? The picket lines came down almost overnight. For the republican leadership, it was then and is now, strictly about the money and political mileage that they can get out of the abortion issue.
