Live, Kill, or Both?


This political cartoon describes someone who is against abortion but how hypocritical they are. The man holding the sign states to the other man that "touch my sign and I'll kill you." This is saying that he is obviously not pro-life for everyone. These "pro-life" protesters are insinuating that anyone who says you should have a choice (pro-choice) is a murderer.
An example of the hypocrisy would be George W. Bush's pro-life but pro-death penalty view. Bush holds the distinction of signing 152 death warrants while being the governor of Texas, more than any governor in modern times. Obviously his morals contradict himself and prove this political cartoon correct.
In our point of view, it is important to be "pro-choice" because regardless of your own beliefs, you're taking away the right for someone else to do what they want to their body. Many people also do not have the money to support a child and have health problems and risks. Once into the third trimester though, abortion should be illegal because by that time it could be born and potentially survive and it is a baby by that point.
