From your blog posts, it’s clear that you have an intense and disturbing hatred for those who don’t live the exact same lifestyle as you. Do you only pretend to care about life when it involves controlling women, but when those children grow up and fall into a category that you don’t like (transgender, gay, a refugee), it’s perfectly fine to write sneering, degrading, and very un-Christ-like blog posts about them on a weekly basis? You support laws that have drastically increased maternal mortality rates and have caused multiple women to die because doctors now refuse to provide life-saving care when they have a miscarriage or birth complications. What about the woman from Georgia who was arrested for having a miscarriage last week? Are you glad that innocent women are now dying trying to give birth because of what you wanted? What if you have daughters or granddaughters and the laws you’re so excited to enact endanger their lives? Will you be laughing and jeering at them as they die giving birth because of what you wanted? If one of them has a miscarriage, will you be giddy to pick up the phone and dial 911 to have them arrested and locked in jail for 10+ years, over something they couldn’t control? The “pro-life” movement has nothing to do with supporting life. It’s only pro-birth. You attempt to use euphemisms and flowerly language to cover up what this is actually about, which is control. I, personally, now refuse to have children or give birth in the US because it is effectively a death sentence. Many other women agree.

By the way, by so emphatically supporting someone like Trump, who has repeatedly made incredibly predatory and dehumanizing remarks about women, has been convicted of sexual abuse, attempted to appoint an Attorney General who had sex with and sex trafficked a child, and nominated men with credible rape allegations against them to the Supreme Court and as Defense Secretary, you’re directly contributing to rape culture despite, again, claiming to care about life. This never has and never will be about actually caring for life and human beings.

Here are some credible medical studies and sources to back up my points:
