I’ve read about Erickson’s coined term ‘pro-life statist’, and it’s not in any way meant as an indictment of pro-lifers.

Those who use ANY excuse to institute big government are a danger to us all.

Give me just one example of how a pro-life position can possibly lead to bigger government.
Just one.
Here; I'll help you out. If we overtun Roe and outlaw abortions, we will have millions of new welfare babies to max out our welfare roles.
Now. Is that what your're saying?
Also, if Erickson were attacking Santorum over his stance on abortion he would have called him anti-choice.
I need to take a close look at this list later.
