You know whats funny?

[Threedifferentones]

The people trying to make abortion illegal also tend to be those who would cut social programs for poor people and unwanted children.

Why have I never heard that said on T.V., even though its obviously true?

1. They love children till they're born.

Then the damn welfare brats are on their own. Too bad mom was such a slut. :sarcasm:

[justinsb]

2. That was pointed out alot

When Clinton and the GOP were gutting welfare.

[seabeyond]

3. i bring it up. and i bring it up a lot now. better get welfare in gear

for all those unwanted babies, because as you are opposed to terminating a fetus or embryo, i am opposed to bringing a hungry baby and child into this world

i ask all my anti choice friends,......what are you going to do after the outlaw of abortion. jail for the women if caught. feed the hungry. gotta give an answer

they cant

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. Because life begins at conception and ends at birth

[Journeyman]

5. It picks up again just before death. . .

and really gets humming if you're braindead with one foot in the grave. . .

6. Abortion has risen during the George W Bush administration.

This rise has been linked to his economic policies. They don't care about abortion, and stable families, they just exploit people for partisan political gain. Fundies are stupid to think abortion can best be limited by just making another or overturning a law. None of them care about the people involved, it's all about appearance with no real integrity or substance at all.

I'll get off my soapbox now. :)

7. Thanks for the thought...

I had honestly never thought about it in those terms before...

Gods, I love DU!

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. So funny I could puke. Save the fetus, chastise the harlot, erm..mother..

then starve them both, make sure they have no health coverage, lousy education, terrible living conditions...

And the GOP think they are SO morally centered.

[SeattleGirl]

9. Well of COURSE they are morally centered

:sarcasm:

You nailed the "harlot" part, and the other part is that the children, whom these idiots claim to care about, are nothing but punishment for the harlot for daring to have sex! Gad, these people make me sick!
:puke:

Edited for grammar.

[Rude Horner]

10. I've been saying something similar

for quite a while now. The Repuks seem to want it both ways. Ya know, let's force these women to have unwanted children, but once they're born - fuck 'em. AFTER they're born, it's the same old tired chant "These damn welfare folks just keep having more and more babies, living off the system." blah blah blah.

Yup, if you're going to make abortion legal, then they better be vampin' up a lot of social programs to help these folks out. Odd, but I don't see THAT part of the equation happenin'.

Republicans only care about you before you're born and after your brain stops working. Any time in between there, yer on you're own.

[MsTryska]

11. i'm actually at a stalemate with a conservative right now.....

we were discussign the working poor, and my final comment was htis:


"you don't want abortion to be legal
you don't want sex education
you don't want access to contraceptives
you don't want access to high education
you don't want to pay welfare
you don't want to pay a living wage
you don't want don't want provide access to healthcare
you don't want to provide adequate childcare



what the hell do you want, actually? what do you stand for?

What do you propose?


cuz all i'm hearing from you is No No No and Woulda Coulda Shoulda.


nothing that's pertinent or even moves forward in resolving the problems we have."
