re: "Trump Tells Anti-Abortion Marchers, ‘Unborn Children Have Never Had a Stronger Defender in the White House’" (The New York Times, January 25, 2020)
Fake morals from President Trump us usual.
The honest name for those opposing the legal right of women to choose abortion is not "pro-life". It's anti-person.
If the so-called pro-lifers were rationally and morally consistent, they would be PETA members actively opposing the killing all the animals that we like to eat. Pigs, ducks, fish and cows are all living organisms every bit as much as any human foetus.
The fact is that those opposing abortion on the grounds that it kills a living organism are hypocrites unless they also oppose steak, bacon and delicious roast duck. Do they?
That Trump pretends to agree with them says something disturbing about both him and the "pro-life" anti-person voting constituency.
