"Pro-Life or Pro-Control?"

Why do policies protecting a fetus justify stripping autonomy from women, yet capital punishment remains untouched? This editorial dives deep into the selective morality around life, autonomy, and who holds power over these choices. History and policy collide in a debate that's about far more than just 'pro-life' vs. 'pro-choice.' Who really decides whose life matters—and why?

Read the full editorial to explore: 🔹 The South’s history of control and marginalization.

🔹 Contradictions in protecting life in one area while ending it in another
🔹 The powerful networks behind policy decisions
