You’ve told me that your support for Donald Trump hinges entirely on one issue: his pro-life position. Despite the myriad of controversies surrounding him—many of which you openly criticize—you assert that you cannot back anyone who doesn’t share your perspective on this matter. For you, the sanctity of life is the defining factor.
I wish I could believe your claim of being truly pro-life. However, it feels more accurate to say you are anti-abortion, a stance that seems selective and convenient. From my viewpoint, your definition of “life” appears to be quite limited, primarily encompassing those who resemble you. Advocating for unborn children is easier when you can mold them into an idealized image—something familiar and comfortable.
It’s clear that your commitment to life diminishes once a child is born. Your concern often has a gestational expiration date, as if life begins at conception but loses value the moment it enters the world. If that life, once delivered, adopts a different faith, you may view it as a threat. Should it identify as LGBTQ, your compassion could turn to condemnation. If that life has a different skin color, you might not only lack empathy but also shift blame for its suffering.
When it comes to those facing systemic injustices, your pro-life stance seems to vanish. Children in underfunded schools are told to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” from the comfort of your privileged community. Those who need health care might find your empathy lacking unless they fit into a preconceived mold of worthiness.
I wish you were truly pro-life, because the value of human existence should extend far beyond the womb. If you genuinely cared for all lives, you would advocate against poverty, racism, and violence. You would fight for the rights of immigrants, support single parents, and work towards a society where every child thrived, regardless of their circumstances.
As someone who values life deeply, my commitment extends beyond just the unborn. I believe in the sanctity of all human beings, regardless of their beliefs or identities. My advocacy encompasses everyone, including immigrants, those of different faiths, and even those I disagree with.
Imagine if we could unite in a broader affirmation of life. It would be a cause for celebration and a testament to what America could achieve when it embraces all its people. I wish you shared this perspective, because then the term “pro-life” would encompass a much richer, more inclusive understanding of humanity.

In summary, if your pro-life stance only applies to a specific group of people, it undermines the very essence of life itself. A genuine commitment to pro-life ideals should embrace all individuals, ensuring that every person is valued and supported throughout their lives.
