Not all lives sacred to 'pro-life' adherents

I just read the letter from Carol Uhlarik of Elk Grove Village decrying the SCOTUS decision on abortion and the reaction it generated among some young women.

And now I have to let my inner Donald Trump come out - no political correctness for me - how else to say that I've finally realized what allegedly "pro-lifers" are all about. Allegedly being the key work, because I've com to realize anti-abortion adherents are not pro-life, they are "pro-fetus", first and foremost.

If they were really "pro-life", their actions would extend well beyond the fetus state. Otherwise, why are so many children in foster homes? Why are not these allegedly "pro-lifers" adopting all these children? Why are they allowing this proliferation of guns on the streets, causing death and mayhem, without raising their voices to address this issue?

Why are they not out marching against all these mass killings? Why do all their anti-abortion, pro-life activities end when a woman is compelled to carry a child she never intended to start in the first place?

No, they are not pro-life as we know real life. They are strictly and evermore pro-fetus, fine! Why else would a fetus be more worthy than someone already born?
