Bob's your uncle

It's a catch phrase dating back to 1887, when, in a blatant case of favoritism, British Prime Minister Robert Cecil (a.k.a. Lord Salisbury) decided to appoint his nephew Arthur Balfour to the prestigious and sensitive post of Chief Secretary for Ireland.

So "Bob's your uncle" is another way of saying "your success is guaranteed."

You just put these parts together like this, and Bob's your uncle - you have a working model!

You want to go to the stadium? Go straight on until you reach the park, take the first left, and Bob’s your uncle - you're there!

Pro-life

The attitude or philosophy that counts all human life as sacred and inviolable, from the moment that life exists, at conception, especially since the baby is alive and growing, and different in every way from either parent. Those who are pro-life reject abortion and euthanasia as murder.

The abortionist was intent on continuing his bloodthirsty destruction of babies for many years, and the law was doing nothing to prevent it. Being pro-life, we were left with a choice of taking one life, or turning our backs and allow the killing of thousands to continue. We dearly would have loved to take no life at all, but the abortionist, being a mass murderer, had prevented that choice from being available.

pro-love

An attitude or philosophy that embraces or supports or believes in all forms of genuine committed love and caring, and its sexual expression, whether interracial, gay, incestuous, or any other type of human relationship.

Quote: I challenged him, saying "You say "Love one another". I say, "If a lifelong devotion has arisen in your heart for someone, if your happiness depends on theirs, if your greatest joy is found in doing things together, if you are willing to make sacrifices for their benefit, then what the hell does it matter if they have a different colored skin, or if they have the same genitals, or if they happen to be closely related?" Being pro-love, I had overcome my own prejudice, fear, and negative judgment, and I wanted him to overcome his. End of quote
