watching sarah palin and completely losnig my shit on her stance on the “culture of life.”
did it ever occur to these republicans that pro-choice is more in-line with their conservative values?
here’s why: the vast majority of abortions are performed on women in their early teens to mid twenties living in metropolitain areas. they are not financially indepedent and most likely because of their lack of a college education will not be after they bring a baby to term.
here we go, child born into unwanted household to parents, or rather PARENT of limited means. even worse, child goes into foster care. who subsidizes foster care, the government. abortion gets outlawed, more kids into the system. but not unwanted rich babies. people of means would simply leave the country to have the procedure performed elsewhere.
so now we’re left with unwanted babies being born to poor, working class teen/early twenty year olds in metropolitain areas of limited means and limited education. how are they going to support these children? ah, they ask for help, help from whom? the government.
so now we got single parents on welfare, children in foster care, and the government determining where these children should stay, how they should live. children in foster care tend to remain institutionalized in one way or another: mental, juvenile, correctional, etc.
more government oversight, regulation and bureaucracy.
how the fuck is this in-line with the touted fiscal conservatism of the republicans?
