Vaccines are pro-life
So-called “pro-life” extremists want to define the beginning of life as the moment of conception. Setting aside the fact that both the sperm and egg are also alive so life doesn’t begin at conception, one might ponder why those who want to criminalize abortion as murder don’t similarly criminalize miscarriages as murder or assault when they’re caused by anti-vaxxers who promote the spread of Rubella to pregnant women.
Congenital Rubella Syndrome: Infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, fetal death or a constellation of fetal anomalies including cataracts, microcephaly, hearing loss and cardiac anomalies. Additional features can include interstitial pneumonitis, radiolucent bone disease, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and dermal hematopoiesis.
Prevention: Rubella vaccine
Measles also kills, as does COVID. Anti-vaxxers are not pro-life.
