Pro-life movement needs to a new name

| May 16, 2023 1:00 AM

I feel like the “pro-life” movement should be re-labeled as the “pro-human-life” movement when you consider that every human will consume thousands of plants and animals in their lifetime (not to mention the competition for natural resources necessary for the plants and animals to exist).

It’s a pretty easy argument to make that the “pro-life” movement is actually anti-life, while being pro-human-life. Regardless of your thoughts on abortion, the thinking that we are the only life form (or the only life form that matters) is dangerous, narrow-minded, and needs to end.
