How many?
I'd just like to know how many pro lifers out there have adopted babies who are addicted to crack, born H.I.V positive or have some other serious birth defect.

What the hell does that matter?

Because it's really easy to be anti aborton when you personally don't have to worry about the childs quality of life. If you're going to fight for a cause to save lives, it's irresponsible to stop at abortion. There are millions of babies that weren't aborted that need saving as well. Most pro-lifers arent really that at all, they're pro fetus. After that, they don't care, unless it starts raising their taxes or sucking social security dry. Then it's a whole different ball game.
Ok, let's be clear here, I'm merely trying to explain what I believe was implied in the original post, not casting aspersions or making accusations.
The OP's question only matters if people actually care about more than just unborn children; or even about children once they're out of the womb.
The point is that there are literally millions of children who live in horrendous circumstances, in the US and elsewhere. There are tens of millions of children who die on a daily basis around the world. These children suffer, and/or die, because nobody cares about what happens to them.
Caring about the unborn, being concerned about their fate, is admirable. Terminating that concern once they're born kinda cancels that ouy. If you TRULY care about them, you'll care about them beyond the scope of their threatened abortion.
Also, if you're concerned about the lives of unborn children, how does it make sense for you to not care about children who have been born already, and desperately need help to either survive or to have any chance of living in conditions other than in misery and constant peril?
In the movie the point is presented that when you're willing to ignore the deaths of 30 million children a year in order to focus on a specific 1.5 million a year, when the vast majority of the 30 million could be saved by very simple means, it isn't clear that any claims you make about morals or ethics should be taken seriously.
Hopefully I've helped clear things up?

Don't know if you know this or not but all of the oil in the world is NOT produced in the middle east. In fact only 1/4 of the oil in the world comes from that region and 1/3 from OPEC which governs most of those countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Kuwait.
Maybe you were just being sarcastic but wiping out a group of people because they don't agree with the way we do things is like blowing up abortion clinics or flying planes into towers.
