I’m sorry,
I know it sounds catchy
a name designed
by its own title
to be above dispute
but you don’t get
to be “pro-life”
not until you are
pro-healthcare and
pro-education
you can’t call
yourself pro-life
and be okay that
we leave the homeless
to sleep on the street
pro-death penalty,
and anti-gun control
then you’ll need a new title
this one is full of more holes
than our children,
who we decided to protect
with only thoughts and prayers
if you support
family separation
and locking children
in cages
if you discriminate
against people
with a different
identity or sexuality
than yours
if you are okay
that we poisoned
the waters of Flint
and Standing Rock
then your idea of life
is narrow and empty
until you support
life after birth,
in all its colors
and varieties
until then,
you are simply
pro-fetus
