Another immigrant kid has died in captivity. These kids are kept in conditions that rival our worst prisons.
Here is what Thomas Friedman said about being “pro-life.”
In my world, you don’t get to call yourself”pro-life” and be against common-sense gun control.... You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and want to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency.... You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and oppose programs like Head Start that provide basic education, health, and nutrition for the most disadvantaged children.... The term”pro-life” should be a shorthand for respect for the sanctity of life. But I will not let that label apply to people for whom sanctity for life begins at conception and ends at birth.
I agree with Friedman. I am tired of people who call themselves “pro-life” yet are willing to rip refugee children from their parents and hold them in for-profit prisons, supporting a president who has no empathy, no goal except to fan the flames of hatred for political advantage. It is sickening.
