Pro-life? You mean pro-birth where you release the born baby to a LOWER quality of life, you frauds! Let’s make these Congresspersons pregnant with more babies than they can possibly support! No, wait a minute. That wouldn’t be fair to their babies; let’s just make these representatives and their wealthy sponsors pay lifetime child-support for all the unwanted pregnancies that they caused! That would stop these Tea Partiers and their supporters pretty quick. After all, money talks.
