No sadness, pain, anguish, misery, or life travail touches him in the least. The lives of human beings, as lived and experienced, are of no interest to him. Here's one example among many I've run by him, over the years, out of a morbid curiosity to see evil manifest itself as sanctimony: ANTILIFE believes that in a poor country filling with increasing numbers of AIDS-infected orphans dying, starving and unattended, if a widow arrives at a clinic two months pregnant, arrives desperate and begging for help because she is hungry and HIV positive and already has four malnourished little children at home who will have no one to care for them when the disease finally takes her, as it took their father.... well, unbelievable as it is, ANTILIFE supports without hesitation the Bush Administration's position that if this rural Health Clinic merely tells the woman about the option of abortion obtainable somewhere else , if the doctor there even answers a question about the subject, all funding to that clinic, which may well be the only health facility for many miles, should be eliminated. For one reason only: the doctor has not obeyed the gag order and has told the woman that elsewhere an abortion is an option that would be offered. And so, one more malnourished, possibly infected, baby will be gestated in a barely-alive mother, a baby born to live in pain and die slowly, like its brothers and sisters. This is typical of the cruel antilife positions of the poster who, unaware of any irony, calls himself, in caps, PROLIFE. Fanaticism creates monsters insensible to their contribution to the suffering and travails in other human beings's lives, and so avidly and perversely working to increase the sum total of it on this afflicted planet.
