Republicans are pro life but anti health care, go figure

In stunning public disregard for the separation of church and state, Area pastors and local government officials, will be participating in a Pro Life Rally on the steps of the County Courthouse. Don't get me wrong, my problem is not with the joining of politics and religion, but the shear hypocrisy of republicans holding a *cough* pro life rally, especially when two of the elected officials scheduled to attend are fresh off a vote to repeal The Affordable Health Care Act because it's President Obama's idea.
Congressman Robert Aderholt will be the keynote speaker at the Pro Life Rally in Huntsville on Saturday, Jan 22, at Noon.
Who isn't pro life? I mean, really. Do you know of anyone who says they are anti life? What gets me is the righty's don't get the correlation between access to quality affordable health care and life. They are pro life as long as it's in the womb after that all bets are off and Baby you are on your own.

If a bunch of men want to stand outside on a cold winter day and protest a woman's right to choose to have a legal abortion that's their right (no pun). At the end of the rally they will go home and Roe v Wade will still be the law of the land. So it's not about being pro life, it's about being pro choice.

Do they only care about the unborn? Do they not realize the mother and the child need access to quality affordable health care in order to like live?

Do they honestly believe only those who can afford it are the only ones who should have access to quality, affordable health care?Do they honestly believe people don't have health insurance because they don't want to purchase it, but wait for someone to hand it to them?

Do they honestly believe Hospital emergency room treats the uninsured?
And if they believe this who do they think pays for it? Hint the answer starts with the letter T and ends with the letter R.

I don't understand how you can call yourself pro life and be against health care reform at the same time.
These anti-choice politicians are out of touch with Americans’ values and priorities,” said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL. “These same lawmakers voted to repeal a health-care law that provides prenatal care and the promise of no-cost birth control to women. Now, they want to make it even harder for women to purchase private health insurance that includes abortion coverage with their own money. Their hypocrisy is astounding. It seems that they’re fine with government intrusion, as long as it involves interfering in women’s personal, private decisions.”
Un Huh.
