If you spend any time on Twitter — as you might guess, we do — one of the hot progressive talking points is that no one who isn’t doing something about the conditions in which unaccompanied migrant children are being housed (even just outrage-tweeting about it) has no right calling themselves pro-life.
Remember when blue-check author Sarah Tuttle-Singer asked what pro-lifers have done for low-income single mothers and sarcastically added, “I’ll wait”? She didn’t have to wait long before she was inundated with hundreds of responses.
So TV producer Andrew Kimmel (“The Bachelor,” “Minute to Win It”) thought he’d do the same, calling out pro-lifers to see what they were doing about overcrowding and understaffing at the border.
"Children as young as 7 & 8, many of them wearing clothes caked with snot & tears, are caring for infants they've just met … Toddlers without diapers are relieving themselves in their pants. Teenage mothers are wearing clothes stained with breast milk." https://t.co/q0FCe1IRKT

Will wait to hear what the good “pro-life” “Christians” have to say about this. Looking at you @JackPosobiec @MeghanMcCain @Liz_Cheney @Liz_Wheeler @TomiLahren @DLoesch

I forgot about “pro-life” @chadfelixg, which lucky for us, he even lists in his bio. Can you please use your voice for the lives of these children Chad?

Can’t say I’m surprised you passed this to me in a backhanded way by responding to this thread. Either way, not about us. I’ll be sure to reach out to this group as I’ll be on the ground in El Paso this Sunday. Will you be joining?
— Andrew Kimmel (@andrewkimmel) June 27, 2019
“You passed this to me in a backhanded way by responding to this thread.” Huh? You called him out, he responded.
And yes, we got Kimmel’s virtue signal loud and clear; he’ll be on the ground in El Paso. What good that will do we don’t know; maybe he’ll get some photos of himself crying at an empty parking lot?
You asked me as a prolife advocate what we were doing to help the people at the border.
I sent you a link to a prolife charity raising funds to do just that.
I don't know how you got 'backhanded' from that. But it is simply another option to help. ?♂️ https://t.co/mskpsUNteC

Is this an org you are familiar with? Looks like the website was built this week and used photos from a different charity event #ManilaStreetLove… ?♂️
— Andrew Kimmel (@andrewkimmel) June 27, 2019
Yeah, must be fake. Does he even know what the organization does?
Well yes,
I built it and launched it this week. The generic photos are provided by https://t.co/2kuxcVcz1F.But the site is a platform to *promote* charity opportunities.
Bottles to the Border is being run by @NWFproTX and the campaign links to their donation site. https://t.co/xQsWtIsMWf
— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) June 27, 2019
So the pro-lifer built a website to promote charity opportunities and collect donations for groups such as Bottles to the Border. Kimmel’s original question was what pro-lifers had done about the border crisis, right?
Wonderful! I hope you will continue to encourage your large following to join us in El Paso this Saturday and Sunday to stand up for illegally detained children. Sending a DM to @NWFproTX
— Andrew Kimmel (@andrewkimmel) June 27, 2019
Wow, what a generous answer after calling Greene’s answer “backhanded.” Again, who’s going to accomplish more for the children? Maybe have a word with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez … she’s pro-choice, did her best to hold up $4.5 billion in emergency aid, and cheered on striking workers who stopped building beds for those kids. But she’s helping.
They are here illegally so they are legally detained. Hope that helps.

Pretty sure pro-choicers are allowed to donate at the site as well:
Okay guys,
I need your help!
Do you know any group or organization that could use *supplies* donated to them directly?If so, please list them here. If you know a person in charge or run one yourself, reply here!!
