Imagine this:
A 10-year-old rape victim has to cross state lines, terrified and bleeding, just to access basic medical care.
Her doctor is punished. Her privacy is gone. Her trauma is national news.
Now imagine an AR-15, bought legally, no questions asked, crossing those same state lines without a hitch.
That’s not a dystopian novel. That’s America in 2025.
In this country, guns have more rights than women. And if you’re calling that “pro-life,” then the word has lost all meaning.
Thanks to Project 2025 and the far-right Supreme Court, abortion rights have been decimated nationwide. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, more than 20 states have banned or severely restricted abortion access. Some states, like Idaho, Texas, and Missouri, have gone even further, passing so-called “abortion trafficking” laws, criminalizing people who help women or girls travel across state lines for care.
These laws after:
- Healthcare providers
- Parents who drive their daughters
- Friends who buy a bus ticket
- Clergy
- Counselors
- Even Uber drivers
Meanwhile, gun owners can transport semi-automatic rifles across all 50 states, protected by federal law, even when crossing into states with strict gun control laws.
No parental consent.
No waiting period.
No trauma.
No prison time.
Just freedom for the weapon.
Where’s the “Pro-Life” in That?
In 2023 alone, over 46,000 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S. That includes more than 2,500 children and teens. In fact, guns are now the leading cause of death for young people in America.
Compare that to the number of people who have died from safe, legal abortions in the last two decades: virtually zero. But abortion bans are killing women now.
- Nevaeh Crain, 18 years old, died after being turned away from multiple emergency rooms while miscarrying in Texas.
- Amber Nicole Thurman died of an infection in Georgia because abortion restrictions delayed her care.
- Josseli Barnica died of sepsis after being denied treatment for an unviable pregnancy.
These aren’t horror stories from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. These are real women, in real American states, dying under laws written by men who claim to be “pro-life.”
Doctors Are Being Punished for Compassion.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio, a procedure that was legal, necessary, and reported in full compliance with the law. Her reward?
She was fined. Threatened. Investigated. Harassed.
All for providing care to a child who was already the victim of a violent crime.
This is what it looks like when politics overrides medicine. When ideology tramples compassion. When power silences professionals who dare to help the vulnerable.
If It Were Your Daughter…
Forget politics. Just ask yourself:
“What if it were my daughter?”
What if your daughter were 10 years old and raped?
What if she started to hemorrhage during a miscarriage and couldn’t get care because the ER was afraid to violate state law?
What if she was forced to give birth, and five years later sent her child to kindergarten in a country that protects assault rifles more than it protects children?
That’s the future we’re living in. One where a girl’s uterus is state property, but a gun is sacred… even when it’s used to murder kindergarteners during circle time.
This Isn’t About Life. It’s About Control.
You cannot call yourself “pro-life” while refusing to act on gun violence.
You cannot claim moral high ground while criminalizing healthcare and watching children die in classrooms.
This movement was never about protecting life.
It was always about punishing women, controlling bodies, and weaponizing religion into law.
When a gun has more rights than your sister, your wife, or your daughter, it’s not freedom.
It’s a fascist theocracy with better PR.
You Don’t Get to Stay Silent Anymore.
This is your test.
Do you believe in freedom for everyone? Or just for bullets?
Call your representatives.
Support abortion funds.
Demand federal protection for reproductive rights.
Fight for gun reform that actually protects children instead of arming their killers.
Because if you wait until it’s your daughter on the table, it will already be too late.
