Pro-life until birth

I’ve always suspected that most of the anti-abortion people were more concerned with controlling women than about saving human life.  Now we have hard evidence.

According to an analysis of federal data by the Associated Press, the states which have the strictest abortion laws are also the states with the worst prenatal care and children’s health care.  Mississippi, for example, has the largest share of children living in poverty and babies with low birth weights.  Texas has the highest rate of women receiving no prenatal care during their first trimester and ranks second worst for the proportion of children in poverty who are uninsured.  Indiana, very anti abortion, had the second highest rate of women (18%) who don’t receive prenatal care during the first trimester.

Let’s stop calling it “pro-life.”
