PRO LIFE AND THE EXTENDED ABORTION

[Renwiick]

A baby that is forced to be born into a family that will never love it, is a baby subject to an extended abortion. The Pro Life crowd will say, save the baby at all costs. But when the baby is saved it is born into a Republican Run White House that says no to national health care. Pro Life wants Babies born at all costs... if they want this then they should help young couples pay the thirty thousand dollars needed to adopt a baby. The Pro Life crowd wants to witness the beauty of a baby that is brought to full term but then many of them turn their heads when that very baby becomes victim to the often fatally brutal ways of Social Darwinism.

1. Well you're right,

of course, hardly original, but definitely correct.

2. Repubicans aren't really pro-life

The pro-life Dems have a phrase: The right to life should mean the right to a decent life--for mother and child!

3. It's about sex. The pro-preggers want naughty women punished by carrying to term.

Naughty women being women who dare to enjoy sex without having children.

4. You nailed it. I once heard a caller (male) on a Christian talk show in Portland OR proclaim:

IF A WOMAN ACTS LIKE A WHORE LET HER PAY THE PRICE!!

The price of course being a baby. I really-really wanted to call and ask, "So having a baby is God's punishment for having sex? And where, oh, where, do men, those givers of sperm, fit into this equation?"

I had to get back to work so couldn't make that call but the declaration, with which the talk show "host" agreed, has somehow haunted me. This is wrong on so many levels I can't go into it, but I'm guessing not all the "whores" who were sentenced to "paying the price" actually enjoyed sex. A priest once told me that birth control is all the woman's responsibility as she simply has to say no.

This is a rant. I'll shut up now. I've long since given up on all things "Christian" but the mindset never fails to boggle my mind.
