Jon, I would say that the Trump Party is the anti-abortion party.
There is nothing about separating kids at the border, to live in cages and never to see their parents again, or arresting people that leave water for poor migrants in the desert that is pro life. Nothing.

You’re right, but it starts there. Without being anti-abortion, you cannot be pro-life at all.
Once a child is born, pro life includes working through the Church and local entities to help when children and families need help. It means protecting individual rights, fighting against strong central government, reducing government spending and debt.
Pro-life.
That started with Obama and the progressive 9th circuit. It continues because progressive leaders in certain states continue to encourage people to make the dangerous trip, putting women and girls at risk of terrible abuse.
The progressive movement is more than pro-abortion. It is anti-life.

Your great “pro life” President could put an end to it, but he hasn’t.
Deterrence by Death is not a pro life stance. Ever.

In the October 3, 2017 Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (to stop abortions after 20 weeks) vote in the House of Representatives: Republicans voted 234 -to- 2 to stop abortions after 20 weeks, and only 3 Democrats voted to stop abortions after 20 weeks.
Quite a difference, especially when this involves compassion for unborn babies who can feel pain.

Our most pro-life President Trump also has led an economy that best fights poverty (helping increase life expectancy): lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, and highest median income for African-Americans and Hispanics in recorded history. However far anyone wants to expand the pro-life issue, President Trump is more pro-life than any Democrat in every way.
I never used the word great, but he is the first to actually attend the March.JonNC:

I am all in favor of ending so-called sanctuary cities and states. Hopefully he will.
There is no deterrence by death, unless you are referring the justifiable killing of evil terrorists. That, too, is pro-life.

That is the US Government position that it is illegal to place food and water where illegally migrating people will find it. Better they die of dehydration or starvation, providing a deterance to others.
They shouldn’t come across the border illegally. The wall would do so much to stop such crossings and protect people’s lives. The people putting these folks’ lives in peril are the open borders progressives.

I don’t see you renouncing the “Deterrence by Death” policy.
Also, I’ve read recently that along great swaths of the wall there will need to be flood gates that remain open all summer during the monsoon season. Without them, the flash floods would take the wall down. And, yes, people can crawl under the floodgates.
You can’t make this up.
Is this the official title, or is someone trying to editorialize?
Perhaps a source for this is in order…
Just a thought.

Well, it’s from U.S. District Judge Rosemary Márquez in a recent ruling:
“The Government seems to rely on a deterrence theory, reasoning that preventing clean water and food from being placed on the Refuge would increase the risk of death or extreme illness for those seeking to cross unlawfully, which in turn would discourage or deter people from attempting to enter without authorization,” she wrote. “In other words, the Government claims a compelling interest in preventing Defendants from interfering with a border enforcement strategy of deterrence by death,” Marquez wrote. “This gruesome logic is profoundly disturbing.”

Like record rates of low unemployment for minorities, like the prison reform bill which I would need to actually study. Like pouring millions into the inner city, I have cited this before and will again but can not until later. And giving millions to aid refugees, even with healthcare and rebuilding churches in Iraq, even while partnering with the K of C.
You certainly are correct.
I can provide any needed citations.

Border Patrol Policy is to go after those who leave water out in the desert.
Excuse me, i think some compassionate hearts should be prosecuted for the feelings of their compassionate hearts that aid and abet drug smuggling and an assortment of crimes. Admit, your ways get people killed, drug smuggling, inner city gang warfare. Those are prolife views?. Nothing.
And I’m not being a cynic here, migrants suffer the worse in Mexico.
The whole country is under a travel warning now, 2-4, it’s virtually not safe to go anywhere there right now.
The system needs to be worked on or reformed, if need be.

You haven’t defined the phrase. If you’re speaking of foreign nationals crossing the border illegally, the bigger issue is those in favor of open borders encouraging people to make that trip then using their tragedies to try to push their political agenda.
