The "right to life" movement isn't at all about anyone having a right to their own lives. It is about enslaving women through their reproductive organs, forcing pregnant women to give birth regardless of the cost.
A movement that was truly about supporting people's right to life would advocate for:
- abolishment of capital punishment
- abolishment of war
- gun control
- adequate public healthcare and education, especially for children
- a stronger social safety net
While some right-to-life advocates may admit to supporting some of the above, this is never the focus of their advocacy. They are typically more concerned about maximizing birth rates, at any cost, among those who buy into their propaganda.
Among white people, this typically takes the form of fears that "inferior" brown people will out-breed whites, leading to the fall of civilization. Among black people, it is more often expressed as an accusation that abortion providers are attempting to carry out a plan of black genocide.
