I agree with them that babies’ lives are worth fighting for. The problem is, I don’t agree that a fetus is a baby. Alive? Sure, insomuch as a parasite is alive or cancer is alive. That we often colloquially call a fetus a baby doesn’t magically make it one.

These people don’t want to protect babies. Let’s be clear about that. If they did, snap benefits would be expanded to all children.
Abortion is about control and punishing women. When you get away from the rhetoric, it comes down to slut shaming women for having sex.
They don’t actually care if babies are saved. They only care that women are punished.
And schools would have effective sex education. And birth control would be free or subsidized by the States.
But I totally agree. “Children” are only a tool to scare well-meaning people into thinking there’s a problem where there is none.
