Jill Filipovic surveys the manifold, easily documented ways in which ripping the right of abortion from women is endangering women's lives, as she asks, What's pro-life about all of this? She writes:

"It turns out that a culture of life is less about promoting or preserving life and health, or even caring for babies, and more about just flat-out forcing women into childbearing no matter the circumstances."

Jill Filipovic · What Does the "Pro-Life" Movement Care About?By Jill Filipovic

"The anti-abortion movement’s resources are nearly all being put in this same direction: Banning abortion nationwide, and also putting contraception and IVF on the chopping block. There’s been nothing for babies, nothing for mothers, nothing for families. Just draconian bans and leave women constrained, hurt, and sometimes close to death. That’s it. That’s the pro-life priority."

"Missouri’s GOP Governor, Mike Parsons, and Republican Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, just presided over a modern day lynching. The extremist conservative majority on the Supreme Court gave them extra rope at the last second just for good measure in a 6-3 decision rejecting his request to delay the execution. So much for being pro-life."
