We already pay for everyone elses children with taxes and why do you feel the need to emphasize race and religion?
I'm sitting here challenging your ageism.....are you assuming I have religious/racail prejudices?
Are you aware of the multiple pro life resources, programs and outreaches we have here that would be VASTLY more beneficial the needs of our communities if they were the ones being promoted and handed all that tax funding in place of PP?
Have you ever asked a woman, as shes walking in(mostly taken by a man, btw) to get abortion information why shes doing it? They almost always say "I have no choice".
Real empowering, yeah?
Maybe instead of lobbying for the funding and promotion of unfettered abortion we should lobbying and promoting some gotdamn paid maternity leave longer than 6 weeks?
The pro choice left talks a big game about helping people but when it comes down it.....its not them out there actually fighting FOR women AND their children or putting any of their resources out there to help buy diapers or formula. Or give rides. Or help with medical or adoption costs or provide housing for that 15 year old whose parents threw her out because she wouldnt abort.
I appreciate your points here, I'm sure they are well meaning .....regardless of the almost patronizing tone, but you are talking to someone who has not only been there but actually puts myself out there.
Do you help women in crisis and children? Any families? I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities right now if you have the ability.
I doubt you would tell a struggling family that they should kill their youngest if their youngest was born. If we cannot have compassion and mercy for the most vulnerable Joe.....we have none at all.
Yeah, you can't kill a child once it's born.
And that's the whole point.
The cycle of life (and tremendous financial obligation which goes along with it) begins anew once again.
Perhaps you're one of those mainstream small conservative Republicans who are not benefitting from a system which overwhelmingly rewards the wealthy.
But I'm CRITICAL of wealthy and influential Republicans in the party you support who get theirs, want lower taxes, more anti-abortion measures and then also want to cut the benefits of the poor and working mothers and keep their wages low. And they don't seem to think there is any responsibility on their part to help them. As far as they are concerned, more help to these Moms means more taxes. Uh Uh, can't have that. And those kind of people make me really fucking mad.
If society wants women to have more children, they they better be prepared to pay for it.
You may not like my views on abortion or birth control, but at least I'm not a hypocrite. I don't cast aspersions on any woman who wants an abortion, and I especially don't shame they become pregnant and seek social assistance. I think where I live they call that 'poor bashing'.
Also, it's somewhat notable, that at least one place in Canada actually provides state subsidized daycare. That's the province of Quebec. They want more French women to have kids to keep the French culture alive in Canada, so they're wiling to pay for the daycare and programs for Kids.
And I think that's good Because it leads to happier, better adjusted children who end up committing less crime and murders, etc when they grow up. But that really shocks American tourists when I've told them about it. They can't believe that the State would actually provide free daycare for children.
It's somewhat notable in Canada where they don't support the mothers that well, they also have higher crime rates and much higher homicide rates and drug addiction. Probably higher infant mortality rates and even mothers dying as well from underfunded healthcare.
So state socialism can have benefits, even tho some people don't like it.
