The U.S. government doesn't usually act as if every life were infinitely valuable. If it did, there would be no mercury in the tuna that is being fed to our children. If it did, there wouldn't be a single bridge that needs maintenance work. If it did, there wouldn't be a single product sold in the country that fails the highest safety requirements. For the mercury in the tuna may kill a child one day, a bridge may collapse with cars on it and a faulty product may murder people one day. Even a traffic junction without lights can cause a deathly accident.
Yeah. You want to tell me the Republicans are a Party of Life? Prove it. Don't shitcan Social Security for the old folks. Don't cut Medicare and Medicaid. Make abortion unnecessary by providing an actual *support network* for pregnant women and those raising children. Up pollution standards and improve our toxic cleanup programs. Get rid of the mercury in our tuna, the lead in our paint, and the asbestos in our old school buildings.
But, they're not *that* party of life, are they?
