Please explain how you are just anti-abortion but pro-life

Please note before you answer there's more than life to birth. Welfare statists seem to grasp this

I’m pro life because I know that all children are a gift from God no matter how they were conceived, and everyone has the right to life. We as Catholics need to make sure that we help donate, volunteer, and help any child that is here on earth because we are called to by God. This also extends to all human life. Everyone matters. 

I wish is was easier for good people to adopt/foster children.

The topic question makes no sense.  Please rephrase.

If I may. . .

 Please explain how you are [not merely] anti-abortion, but pro-life.


Food for thought:

Hoping to change this perception, John Willke, the President of National Right to Life, came upon a simple solution. He insisted that his fellow anti-abortion advocates stop using the phrase “anti-abortion,” opting instead for the term “pro-life.” Although the term pro-life had been used haphazardly by anti-abortion groups previously, Willke felt it was imperative that the term become the only label for those fighting against abortion.

The label made sense, both in practice and in perception. Abortion is the direct killing of innocent life, so using the term “pro-life” denoted that being against abortion was being for life. Likewise, it was an effective marketing strategy. Pro-abortion forces claimed to be “for” something (“choice”); now anti-abortion forces were for something even more fundamental: life itself.

(. . .)

But like the return of 1970’s fashion, it’s back. Now we hear over and over, from self-proclaimed pro-lifers, that a given issue is a “pro-life issue.

”Racism is a pro-life issue. Poverty is a pro-life issue. Health Care is a pro-life issue. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, dogged supporters of the seamless garment argument, recently stressed that opposition to current immigration policies is a “life issue.”

(. . .)

As for me, I’ve come to realize that I’m no longer pro-life. Just call me anti-abortion. It’s accurate, specific, and tells the whole world that I’m unabashedly opposed to child-killing.

I doubt anyone here is interested in being placed on the defensive by a poster with all of two posts under his belt, so why don't you just lay your cards on the table, "Morrie?" Are you asking if we subscribe to that Satanist pederast fαɢɢօt Joseph Bernardin's "seamless garment" eyewash? If so, the answer is going to be a resounding "no," as that particular manifestation of the Modernist heresy serves no other purpose than to relativize the particular evil of abortion, placing it on a level with capital punishment, which the Church has ever approved as a justified means of societal self-defense.

Otherwise, what are you implying? What other "pro-life" bona fides are you looking for? Or haven't you noticed a decided under-representation of Traditional Catholics among religiously motivated ѕυιcιdє bombers?
