It’s ironic how the term “pro-life” is often used to justify policies that endanger actual, living people

History has shown us repeatedly that when medical decisions are restricted by law rather than left to professionals, the consequences can be deadly. Remember Savita Halappanavar in Ireland? She died of septicemia in 2012 after being denied an abortion, even though her life was at risk. Ireland’s restrictive abortion laws were overturned soon after because people realized that protecting life means protecting *all* life—not just potential life. You can't claim to value life if you're willing to sacrifice women in the process.
