You’re not going to reach all the people that a government can and you have no obligation to keep helping them like a government will. And if you think yourself a good person why on earth don’t you care about migrant families like you do these fetuses? Or what about people dying in mass shootings? Why do your politics seem very selfish and perhaps even evil in those areas?

That's where liberals make their biggest mistake.
As human beings we have an obligation to our fellow human beings. Liberals don't like this--they're often selfish and greedy. Conservatives know in their hearts that charity is the way to move forward.
I know you'd like to push off your responsibility on the government--you are the poster child for the Me, Me, Me generation.
People have helped one another since the dawn of time.

Just because you’re involved in charities doesn’t mean all conservatives are and all liberals aren’t. It has nothing to do with the bigger picture of what our government is capable of to take care of it’s people. You not supporting that is selfish regardless of if you do good things or not. Luck and privilege go a long way with why you are where you are. You might deny that. But it’s true.
What's true? That we conservatives believe the government isn't our parents and, isn't obligated to take care of us?
The only reason democrats are democrats, is because they believe the government should give them everything they want......free.
You don't really even know what's going on around you, do you?

I would say luck does to some extent. What privilege? I grew up church mouse dirt floor poor. Went into hock up to my ass to go to college and law school, lived in the ghetto until paid off the loans and then moved back out to the country. The luck: I ran into some guy when I was in a miserable job that told me about a different job. I became a partner, left there after 20 years, took all of my clients and started my own law firm with a few others. Really risked it all and stuck our necks out.
How is it selfish for me to want to keep as much of what my 70 hours a weeks gets me but it isn't selfish for you to take as much of my labor as you can before you risk a revolution?
Ask your study hall buddies: How much should we pay in tax? What percentage?
