Something to think about as we honor MLK today.
———————————————————————-
As we remember the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., his niece, Dr. Alveda King, tells Peter Johnson, Jr. that she believes her uncle would have been considered a pro-life social conservative if he alive today.
Earlier on Fox and Friends, King discussed her uncle’s beliefs and said that since MLK was someone who gave his life to all humanity, “he would really support the best quality of life, and that is conception until natural death.”
“How can the dream survive if we murder our children?” Her uncle believed that man cannot win if he’s willing to sacrifice the futures of his children for immediate personal comfort and safety. She explained how this lead her to believe that he felt that a woman has a right to choose what she does with her body, but the baby is not her body.
King concluded the interview saying, “I have a dream it’s in my genes and the dream comes from the bible, from God, and the principles that are there.”

Pro lifers should also be against war, but that isn’t the case. Instead we get to choose between the “lesser of two evils” most of the time.
There is quite a bit of difference between taking the life of an innocent, completely helpless being vs. taking the life of someone who is out to kill you and destroy your way of life. Just saying.
I agree to an extent, but you have to recognize that this idea of “defending ourselves” is something all nations at war believe they are doing. in WWII Japan tried to communicate with us but our radios were down. They saw us as a growing threat which could have become an issue down the road, so they thought they could wipe out our Navy and they didn’t think about how united we would become and how everyone would change their tune and support getting involved in the war and that we would develop technology that would wipe out 150k people with two drops of the hat.
They were tense with the world at war and saw everyone as a threat or potential threat, so they had no problems convincing their people that it was in their best interess, and they were merely carrying out the “law of the jungle” (kill them before they kill you).
Look at the final result of how it turned out for Japan, and you’ll see why I think there is a big difference between a strong national defense and a strong national offense that is the result of being afraid of threats and going after everyone in fear that if you don’t they will go after you. Germany tried the same thing, and you think the people of Germany didn’t believe they were “defending their way of life” or “their homeland”?
Taking away a women’s and family’s right to choose is barbaric. If you are against abortions on moral or religious grounds you have every right to not practice them yourself. Where the line is drawn is when you “small government” conservatives ask the government to tell other families how to live and plan their lives because what they want to do doesn’t agree with something you have been told is in a book describing a fairy tale.
Who the hell are you talking to?
Fred, the tea party social conservative.
Your sense of humor is terrible, and you are potentially pathologically insane.
A life is a life, no matter how small.
