Backwards Priorities

I live in a place Where people care more about guns Then they do people

By Amethyst HayesPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I live in a place

Where people care more about guns

Then they do people

Where pro-life is just another word for control

Because really being pro-life

Would be caring about more then just a fetus

it would be caring about humans

It would be caing about the children

Their safety and future lives

Families would get help when they can’t afford necessities

Instead of being shamed for it

Pre natural and post natual care would be more affordable

Baby essentials would be attainable

Mothers would get help for postpartum depression

They would be educated on what it is

They would know how to get help if they needed it

It would not be stimatized

Children could go to school without fearing for their lives

Guns would not be put above safety

Mental health wouldn’t be stimatized

More people could get the help they need

People would be more educated

To know when they need help

Or when someone else might need help

If the same amount of energy

Was put into helping the people around us

As it is taking the rights away from women

Things would be better

Being pro-life shouldnt be about protecting cells

It should be about the human beings around you

Helping the people around us who need it

Caring about the well being of babies

After they have been born

Banning abortions will not save anyone

More lives will be lost than saved

Banning abortions will not stop abortions

It will only stop safe abortions
