The holy madwoman with the foul mouth has declared it to be Time — Time to take back the phrase “pro-life”. She’s continued the tangent pointed out to us by rainbow and called for new action. For far too long, we’ve allowed a segment of the population to seize upon the slogan and use it to ends that actually deny life. Abortion often serves as a smoke screen that conservative candidates use to prevent us from reviewing their own anti-family, pro-profit, pro-strife, and pro-death stands on issues such as the death penalty, the arms race, child care, civil liberties, national health care, housing for the homeless, and all the life enhancing programs that true liberals and progressives support. If you believe in America as a land where through mutual cooperation and sharing we can make a great nation, you are pro-life. To those who despair, who believe that there is no good future, we say Choose Life. To those Congresspersons deciding whether to put our tax dollars into war toys or social programs, we say Choose Life. To those who cannot decide if the government should have a role in providing decent health care to everyone, we say Choose Life. Choose Life means compassion for others, courtesy, and faith in human dignity. Choose Life. Choose Life. Choose Life.
