Being pro-life and saying ‘all lives matter’ has become an easy cover, but as Qasim Rashid, host of the Re-Sight Islam podcast, explains those messages are hollow these days. He says being pro-life or claiming ‘all lives matter’ is among the most largest contradictions.

‘The voices that scream “all lives matter” are suddenly quiet when it comes to Syrian refugees escaping dictatorships and Western bombs,’ Rashid says while citing numbers other examples of strife worldwide that the ‘all lives matter’ folks don’t care about. ‘Pro-life and all lives matter doesn’t seem to apply to marginalized communities or people of color.’

‘If you truly believe in the sanctity and value of all life, you have to act like it.’
