This is a bit of a long one, but I feel it does a good job of portraying most pro-lifers.
“The Unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor. They don’t resent your condescension; or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows they don’t ask you to question the patriarchy; unlike orphans; they don’t require money, education or childcare, unlike aliens, they don’t bring all of that racial, cultural and religious baggage that you dislike, they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn......you can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love, if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.
Prisoners? Immigrants? The Sick? The Poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups who are specifically mentioned in the Bible. They all get thrown under the bus for the Unborn.” - David Barnhart (Methodist Pastor)

Staying on the religion quotes:
Exactly!!! It becomes a cult behaviour and extremism after kinda like we’ve been seeing eh? People need to keep their disturbing fetishes to themselves and be jailed if it involves kids.
GOOD ONE!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love is giving someone the power to destroy you and thrusting they won't use it.
A bird doesn't trust the branch it's sitting on.
It trusts its ability to fly.

Anyone likes Thomas Sowell?
My favourite quote of his: “There are no solutions- only trade offs”.
One of my friends used to say "Qui ne pète ni ne rote est voué à l'explosion.", I'd translate that to "The person who never farts nor burps is doomed to explode."
It always resonated with me. We all are human. Respect yourself, but don't take yourself TOO seriously.

All the results you seek, are in the efforts you are yet to do...
I don't know who wrote that, but I have a love hate relationship with that person now.
