In my world, you don't get to call yourself "pro-life" and be against common-sense gun control. . . . You don't get to call yourself "pro-life" and want to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency. . . . You don't get to call yourself "pro-life" and oppose programs like Head Start that provide basic education, health, and nutrition for the most disadvantaged children. . . . The term "pro-life" should be a shorthand for respect for the sanctity of life. But I will not let that label apply to people for whom sanctity for life begins at conception and ends at birth. —Thomas L.
