Whose "life" is it anyway?

How is it that
  • those who would comandeer women's bodies for childbearing
  • those who refuse a social safety net to said children after they're born
  • those who deny a woman's end-of-life wishes
  • those who kept her "alive" for their own ends: political, economic, emotional
  • those who sign death warrants with nary a second glance
  • those who start a war for their own ends: political, economic, emotional
  • those who occupy other nations
  • those who believe that ephemeral ends justify the means they employ
  • those who aggressively attack the natural environment: earth, air, and water
  • those who think that profit is more important than public health
  • those who speak seriously of the "Prince of Darkness"
  • those who believe that most of us will perish in eternal torment
can claim that they are on the side of the good and the just, that they support a "culture of life"?

Call them all hypocrites, again and again and again. Loudly, and in public. And again.
