The GOP's pro-life voters should not be surprised by the Trump administration's recent actions. Afterall, the party decided to remove a "right to life" plank from the 2024 Republican National Convention's platform, yet they nonetheless voted for Trump.
If these voters are truly PRO-LIFE and not simply pro-birth/anti-abortion proponents, they should be outraged. Because of the USAID freeze, 600,000 Sudanese are at risk of contracting and spreading cholera, malaria and measles. That is, if they don't first die of malnutrition.
Clinics that serve women, children and the elderly in war-torn Syria may die because of clinics being closed. Funds used to pay aid-workers in Ukraine may mean evacuees cannot flee the war. PEPFAR, an organization that has saved 25 million HIV/AIDS patients in Africa, will no longer be able to provide life-saving drugs. Organizations in Mexico will no longer be able to help repatriate migrants looking to return to their countries of origin rather than risk crossing the border into the U.S.
Research on treatments for antibiotic resistant tuberculosis will end. Remote villages will suffer from the lack of clean water. All this, and more, thanks to Trump, Musk and the party that looks the other way while courting naive Christians with good hearts and good intentions.
I wasn't aware that only unborn American fetuses were entitled to life.
