1/Dear Media,

Republicans will attempt to cloak their nominee as "pro-life" as an excuse as to why they "must" be seated on SCOTUS.

They're not "pro-life."
They're anti-choice and anti-access.

Do not use "pro-life" when discussing the upcoming SCOTUS nominee. Why?
2/These SCOTUS picks are anti-choice, meaning they don’t want anyone with a uterus making health decisions about what is best for THEIR OWN BODY; they'll protect the 2nd Amendment, but not Roe v Wade.
That's not pro-life. That’s hypocrisy.
3/The GOP & their SCOTUS pick are anti-access because they continuously attempt to block anyone w/ a uterus from having access to contraception through their employee health insurance, or the morning after pill, or financially or physically (via location) accessing an abortion.
4/Republicans are anti-access to sex education. Studies have shown that sex-ed in pre-k-12th will reduce the number of people from participating in risky sexual behavior, and brings an understanding about consent and boundaries. It’d also clears up misinformation about abortion.
5/Republicans are dehumanizing. They attempt to put those with a uterus though humiliating procedures to access an abortion (like forced vaginal ultrasound). They do not care if the person forced to carry a child to term might themselves, die, or RRP. https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/datasources/nisvs/understanding-RRP-inUS.html
6/If the SCOTUS nominee/GOP were truly “pro-life” they’d care about the incarcerated, migrants, the climate crisis, police brutality, poverty, Black women disproportionately dying during childbirth, etc. They don’t and so they’re not. Do not use "pro-life" to describe them.
