It is wrong for public servants to misuse public health policy for political influence. To suggest that an anti-choice policy is therefore pro life is manipulative and dishonest. Withholding “my tax dollars” from Planned Parenthood was anti-life, anti-choice and not at all the intention of many faithful voters who supported pro life candidates.
Countries where all citizens are assured state-of-the-art reproductive health services enjoy the lowest abortion rates in the world. Evidence-based, cost-effective, brilliant public health policy is truly pro-life. This is the position of reproductive justice.
