Don’t worry…. they still pretend that they are.
They love to play-act.
Take
this manifesto from an anti-abortion ghoul that appeared in the Moonie Examiner.
But in a post-Roe America, the pro-life movement’s focus will shift from judges to lawmakers. It must be matched by an urgency to craft strong support policies such as paid family leave. The goal, however, will be the same: to make abortion politically unpopular, legally unobtainable, and culturally unwanted.
...
A pro-life federal strategy must also recognize that the government has a responsibility to support and encourage family formation in more ways than just one. Protecting unborn life from intentional killing is obviously the movement’s focus. But just as important is providing material aid to mothers and families in need, and rewarding them for bringing life into the world in spite of the many difficulties that can accompany such a decision. The grassroots of the pro-life movement have been working to do this for years through pregnancy resource centers across the country. It’s time for the government to take on part of the burden as well.
In the supposedly liberal New York Times,
Ross Douthat says something similar about "pro-life" activists potentially prodding conservative governments to push more generous family policies.
This is all kayfaybe, of course. Nothing about R. v Wade stopped "pro-life" activists from pushing for these policies before and conservative governments have had 50 years to enact such things if they wanted to. But they didn't and there's no compelling reason to think they'll start now, especially since the benefits of expansive pro-family policies will disproportionately accrue to *those* people.
