…Based on the right’s passionate and indignant opposition to any and all policies that would curtail them:
- Deaths from gun violence.
- Deaths from war.
- Deaths from drone attacks.
- Deaths from torture and mistreatment of military detainees.
- Deaths by execution.
- Deaths from tainted food and poorly tested drugs.
- Deaths from accidents in mines, oil rigs, nuclear plants, or any other unsafe workplaces.
- Deaths from polluted air and water.
- Deaths from infrastructure collapses.
- Deaths from lack of health care.
- Deaths from poverty and starvation.
- Deaths from natural disasters.
- Deaths from abnormal pregnancies.
- Extinction of endangered species.
The right’s definition of “life” as fetuses and corporations is as narrow and misguided as their definition of “civility” as the absence of swear words.

I wonder if by pro-life conservative you include Ron Paul?
http://2012.republican-candidates.org/Paul/Capital-Punishment.php
Ron Paul is almost always an outlier. He probably only supports about 70 or 80% of the things on this list.
Why single out’“Pro-Life” Conservatives’?
Why not let Obama and the Dems in on the fun since they support most, if not all, of the items on your list, either outright through current policy implementation or tacitly by inaction and looking the other way.
Partly because they’re not as aggressive about it, but mostly because they don’t brag about being “pro-life”.
Brag? As they say, “talk is cheap”.
On the flip side, as Obama and the Dems keep proving day after day, “actions speak louder than words”.
Excellent diary, thanks for pointing out what a bunch of hypocrites the pro-lifers are. Recommended!

In a police state. One only has the right to not exist,maybe.
Where do the wealthy, hypocritical pro-lifers take their wives and daughters to get their abortions?
Yeah, but fuck ‘em. Who gives a shit?
I no longer refer to them as Pro-Life. They are Pro-Birth, once out of the womb, the child is on its own.
