Do all lives really matter to you? Do your incentive comments matter - does the way a hurting community perceive them matter to you? Does your privilege matter to you? - oh wait you say it doesn't exist.
What about the children in cages? What about the parents who are deported - leaving their children in the hands of an underfunded, overcrowded foster care system? What about the children who grow up, whose skin color makes them a target- do they matter? Or do the black babies in exotic places matter more to you? So you want to shut down planned parenthood? why? you say abortion is the number one killer- but what about the women- particularly of color- who lose their lives while delivering children, at an exponentially higher rate. What about when people under the poverty line can't afford birth control anymore? What about the women who can't afford prenatal care? What then. Do you really care about all lives? or do you care about silencing voices who you feel threatened by? What about the little girl being bullied because of her natural hair? do you care about her life? or would you fire her mother for wearing her natural hair to work? Do you really care about all lives? What about the people living with unclean water? do you care about them? do you care about their health? or would you rather vote for a president who doesn't believe in their pain. What about the LGBTQ community? Do you care when a gay man is killed? Do you care about their lives or do you use your religion as a way to place their lives lesser than yours? Do you care when a trans woman is killed - or do you even recognize her as that? What about the children being sold into sex slavery? Do you care about them? Or did they somehow do it to themselves? What about the men and women who were raped? Is that their fault too? Do you really care about them? Or will your "thoughts and prayers" be enough. What about the children in war zones that were killed? By soldiers fighting for our freedom---or was it for oil? Do you really care about all lives or are you concerned that your life will be somehow worth less when others lives are beginning to be recognized more?
