I've noticed that in the debate about the response to COVID-19, the so-called "pro-life" community has been conspicuously absent.
In the US right now, some people are pushing for physical distancing requirements to be lifted. Are there any "pro-life" groups arguing that the requirements to stay based on the lives they'll save?
Recently, here in Ontario, the province released its modelling numbers. They had 3 scenarios:
Despite this, I didn't hear a single "pro-life" group say anything like "put those stricter measures in place! Every one of those 1,400 lives is precious!"
So... so-called pro-lifers: care to explain yourselves? Is your "pro-life" position informing any position on COVID-19? If not, why not?

Recently, here in Ontario, the province released its modelling numbers. They had 3 scenarios:
- No physical distancing measures
- Continue the current approach
- Stricter physical distancing measures
