Question: Do you think part of the pro-life movement is a cash grab?

I'll keep it short. :hubie: I understand there is a religious and ideological component to it. Now I always wondered why of all demographics white men would lead the charge. I saw a brief clip of a pro-life organization accepting donations when the license to operate in their state wasn't valid. And to think about it, practically all pro-life organizations operate as non-profits. Just like how people learned of BLM, there are two ways to make money from them. One is to have yourself listed in the administration of the organization and second is hiring yourself as a contractor working on behalf of the non-profit. Last, non-profits are exempt from federal taxes. So do you think there is some truth to the question or it sounds like babble. I'm curious what Coli thinks of this.

This part puzzles me. As you pointed out, there is a religious component to that stance. Clergy and laymen would naturally be some of the leaders of these organizations. You expected to see white women leading these organizations?

Good question. I'm not sure but visually I would think there would be more.

White men have been telling us why. Steve Bannon said, "white babies will save civilization." Former Iowa congressman said, "you cannot rebuild your civilization with someone else's babies." Elon Musk said, "declining birth rates is one of the biggest risks to civilivation."

The entire conservative movement is a cash grab.

"Protect the 2nd amendment. Libs are coming for your guns." = Sell more guns
"Protect the children" = Keep the population growth going for more consumers & workers w/ no options
"Freedom of choice in healthcare" = Let the people & US gov't keep spending absurd amounts on healthcare to line people's pockets

So on and so forth.
