Letter: Mia Love and other ‘pro-life’ politicians are really just ‘pro-birth’

(Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, speaks to the Salt Lake Tribune editorial board Thursday, Feb. 22, 2018.

A Catholic nun, Sister Joan Chittister, O.S.B. (the Order of Saint Benedict), sums up the hypocrisy in the pro-life movement:

“I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? It’s because you don't want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.”

By this definition, Rep. Mia Love, based on her own voting record, is NOT pro-life. She is only pro-birth.
