A good question for upcoming Republican debate

Sister Joan Chittister, PhD, Benedictine nun, lecturer, and author of 50 books, is a research associate in a division of Cambridge University.   She is an advocate for women and has appeared numerous times on the BBC, on 60 Minutes, NPR, and the Bill Moyers Journal.  Here's what she says about what it means to be "pro-life."
"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
This would be a great quote to read to the Republican candidates in the upcoming debate -- and ask them to respond
