The answers I got suggest that while the pro-life movement as a whole is eager to talk about why opposing abortion is pro-woman, many pro-lifers are wary of feminism as either a label or a concept.
|
|
The majority of lifers have been convicted of serious, violent offenses, but the length of time before the potential for release is out of step with international and human rights norms and also with the latest research on crime.

Long-running Midwestern crusties War//Plague are gearing up to release their 11th album, Into the Depths, in late May, and have just let fly with a preview track that (predictably enough if you know anything about these gnarly DIY punk lifers) whips copious amounts of ass.
|

Barflies and hopheads, petty criminals unlikely to kill or maim, working stiffs with a hustle on the side, fuckups milking disability checks and insurance settlements, the musical lifers who bleed into all these categories—none of them are kids anymore, and of course, neither is Finn.
|
|
Like my fellow pro-lifers, the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency fills me with an irrepressible and almost boundless despair; for anyone who shares the conviction that fetuses deserve respect, considering the prospect of abortion being further enshrined in American society is almost unspeakably deflating.
|
|
But others — especially the younger, savvier, and often more secular pro-lifers of the millennial generation — also argue that women wouldn't need to turn to abortion out of concern for their education or career if the broader culture was less hostile to women's fertility and more supportive of mothers.

|
While Planned Parenthood provides crucial women's healthcare well beyond abortion (only 22016% of Planned Parenthood's services are abortion services), abortion is a sticking point for many pro-lifers wishing to defund the organization, and the Hyde Amendment already ensures that federal funds cannot be used for abortion care.

|
|
Now, as pro-lifers consider the future of the Supreme Court, we must bear this history in mind, knowing that even if President-elect Trump appoints a pro-life justice (and we have faith that he will), we will still be endangered by a potential 85033-4 defeat.
|
|
The most sophisticated pro-lifers will at this point make appeals to science and metaphysical biology, and argue that the embryo is an organism whose maturation into an independent human being is intrinsic or internal to it — and thus it is a person and bears all the rights therein.
|
|
"We expected that tens of thousands of pro-lifers will be out today sending a message that we want Planned Parenthood to be defunded," Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society and one of the national organizers of the anti-abortion rallies, said in a telephone interview.

|

|
|
Since the March for Life and many of its attendees put their support behind this President, who treats people poorly in word and deed, pro-lifers should not be surprised at how their march has been widely perceived -- particularly given an egregious incident that transpired during the event this year.
|
|
Maybe it's no longer the most popular shit out there, but to them, this level of chugging not-quite-metal remains as exciting as ever, and while other "classic" hard rockers have lost sight of that (and suffered—let's never forget Orgy's ultra-thirsty crowdfunding disaster), these lifers seem happy to be here.
|
|
This is sad news not only for the dedicated lifers who are still using AIM, but for anyone who came of age in the late 90s and early 2000s and spent countless hours of their lives flirting with crushes, cultivating their buddy profiles, and curating a font-and-background persona for themselves.

The only three constants that have defined genre-bending heavy sound lifers Jucifer since their 1993 inception have been their lineup (Gazelle Amber Valentine and Edgar Livengood, partners in life as well as riffs), their righteous fury, and their commitment to being completely and utterly hard-to-pin down (both musically and geographically).
|
|
Senator Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, well aware of the fact that entrenched lifers in Washington do not want to share their great plan with others who have no plan lest it cost too much or make things too complicated, introduced legislation that would create a sort of shadow Thrift Savings Plan.
|
|
After an aborted Skype mission that was entirely my fault, I finally caught up with guitarist Skarajew super early Melbourne time (the man's a trooper) to find out what's going on with the band now that their metaphorical rise from the ashes has solidified into a bonafide second act for these doomed lifers.

Violent crime is overwhelmingly a young man's game, and long sentences just keep prisoners locked up well after they would have stopped of their own accord: a Stanford study shows that three-strikes "lifers" released recently under California prison reform had a 85033 percent recidivism rate, against nearly 45 percent for other California inmates.

Bob CaseyRobert (Bob) Patrick CaseyThe Hill's Morning Report - Progressives, centrists clash in lively Democratic debate Democrats press Trump Treasury picks on donor disclosure guidelines Pennsylvania school district turns down local businessman's offer to pay off student lunch debts MORE at the 1992 Democratic convention, Democrats have been on a steadily intensifying campaign to purge pro-lifers from their party.
|
|
And at the heart of the promise is a pledge that what happened in Casey, when three Republican-appointed jurists limited Roe's ambit but basically upheld its vision, will never happen again — so long as pro-lifers trust the process, trust originalist and textualist theory, trust the hyper-qualified candidates the conservative legal movement puts forward.

"Now that the police and courts won't be able to do anything, the pro-lifers are going to step in harder and try and traumatize us at every opportunity," said Milly Cunningham, a Northern Ireland native who traveled for an abortion when she was 19 and now lives in London, where she volunteers as a host for Northern Irish women seeking abortions.

It was only in 1977—after the opening of New Zealand's first abortion clinic in 1974, and the subsequent attempted arson of that clinic, as well as the heated political marches from both pro-choicers and pro-lifers—that the Crimes Act was reformed and the Contraception, Sterilization, and Abortion Act came into force, blessing us with the current quasi-decriminalized, quasi-arbitrary framework we have today.
|
|
Politically, liberalism has imposed via the judiciary, the least democratic branch, a constitutional right to abortion, a form of lethal violence that the church opposes for the same reasons it opposes infanticide — and after 50 years of small-d democratic activism by pro-lifers, the pro-choice side seems to be hardening into a view that such activism is as un-American as racism.
|
|
To the pro-choice side, especially to lukewarm pro-choicers looking to feel better about their own muddled sense of things, this choice has sometimes been cast as evidence that pro-lifers don't really believe our own rhetoric — that if we really believed abortion to be murder, really murder, we wouldn't be incrementalists and small-r republicans on the issue; we would support violence, rebellion, nullification, secession, you name it.
|
|
And while the pro-life grass roots tended to be strongly traditionalist on gender roles in the 1970s, with time pro-life and pro-choice citizens converged in their views on women's roles; by the late 2000s, the Claremont McKenna professor Jon Shields wrote in a 2012 commentary on Luker's book, a clear majority of pro-lifers voters held views that sociologists would describe as "gender egalitarian," not traditionalist or Gileadean.
|
|
This position often gets cast as inconsistent by pro-choicers, but I think it represents the incorporation by pro-lifers of the points that my pro-choice friends actually get right — that pregnancy is unique in ways that mitigate culpability and make it unwise to treat abortion like a normal homicide, that the government can only go so far in restriction without becoming a reproductive police state — without making the literally fatal mistake of believing these things also require a civil right to kill your unborn child.

It should have been blatantly obvious to everyone this side of sycophantic Star Wars lifers that the dreaded muppet was the most cynical possible play for attention and sweet merchandise dollars, and yet, no, here we are, awash in millions of the most mediocre memes and posts imaginable, sourced from a breathlessly embarrassing cash grab of a show that was cooked up by Disney execs for the sole purpose of hawking another streaming service that nobody needs besides nostalgics and children, though that distinction may be redundant.
