Honestly most babies would die quickly without 24/7 monitoring, and for the first 6 months they look like little aliens lmao they BARELY count as people.

If fetuses count as people I guess so does a mosquito when it's sucking your blood, can't kill that!

Oops just got tapeworms and it's for life since they are living beings that I have an obligation to support since they are gods creations hurrdurr

Yep. A newborn is pretty much a strange, smelly potato that poops and screams. Then a year or so later it sprouts legs and starts running around breaking stuff while screaming and pooping.

And you know, I'd respect Conservatives if they were consistent like that: if they were pro-life, but also supported comprehensive social services, a welfare state, sex education, full maternal, natal & pediatric care, etc.

But they don't. They don't even care particularly much for neonatal care. It's okay if your baby is gestated by someone who has nowhere to live, who has no access to quality food, no medical care and/or an abusive spouse.

It really is forced-birth, not pro-life.
