Marching for life does not make you pro-life.

If you will march for life

but will not go the extra mile to help a young, scared, mom-to-be,

you are not marching for life. You are just angrily stamping your feet.

If you call yourself pro-choice

but are not heartbroken when a young woman chooses to end a pregnancy,

you are not pro-choice. You are pro-abortion.

If you say you are concerned about the sanctity of human life

but do not feed the hungry or help the hurting in your community,

you are not concerned with the sanctity of all human life. You are concerned with the sanctimony of a political movement.

If you are convinced that abortion should be a choice

but you are not consumed by providing women with all reasonable alternatives,

you are not a champion for women's rights.

If you call yourself pro-life

but still support the death penalty,

you just don't make any sense to me.

If you cheer for the Roe v Wade decision

but do not cry with the women emotionally and physically scarred by abortion,

you are using a life (millions of lives actually) to advance your issue.

If your beliefs on abortion lean to the right or the left

but do not result in acts of love toward a person,

your solutions are divisive.

We can all agree that abortion is ugly and harmful. Right? No one wants to see more abortions happening. Right?

So, let's drop the hypocrisy of the politics around this issue. Both sides. Abandon rallies and marches. Opt out of labels and agendas. Stop the speeches and debates. Vacate SCOTUS decisions and POTUS nominations. Replace them all with the kind of love and action that leads to life; the kind of love and action that makes all other choices fall off the list.
