text: I have never felt the goal of the pro life movement was reducing abortion.  The goal is making abortion illegal.  If this movement was truly about reducing abortions, they would acknowledge abortions go down significantly under Democratic presidents and it would not conflate birth control with abortion.  Unfortunately these steps are hard to take for Roman Catholics because the clerical leadership insists on birth control is as evil as abortion.
  
  It's unfortunate the pro life movement didn't spend all it's money and motivation on convincing women to have their babies and then supporting those mothers with the social programs necessary to raise their child as a productive citizen.  Instead they chose to use their resources as political revenge against politicians who don't agree with them.  Given that penchant, it's no wonder they are falling all over President Trump.  I wish one of them would ask Mr Trump how many abortions he paid for while engaging in his sexual Viet Nam.
