(3,406 posts)We cannot forget that, we know the very rich and powerful have abortions, they can pay for them and hide it, their kids very rarely enlist, and if there was a draft they would have the means to pay for an excuse to stay home...like bone spurs or something.
They want those babies to do their for profit wars because in reality, the sanctity of life is really not that important, there are other things more important, like money for example...there are also many other reasons, but that one is on the top of their priorities.

(4,552 posts)Babies are being shot in schools and they do not CARE!
Which does not even enter into the reality that making abortion illegal will not work. It did not work in the past and will not work now. This is stupid!!!!

(10,096 posts)Yet Republicans support both in a strange conflict that says guns are necessary for protection when in reality guns are primarily used to kill innocent people, including children, and being pro-life means that guns should not be available for killing people. Completely warped thinking.

Here's a hint: Once these babies are born, the very same people crying over the fate of the unborn? Could not care less. Instead, they revert to the 'pull yourself up by your own booties, baby.'
Hypocrites and liars, writ large.

In other words its all about suppression.

(6,215 posts).... BS. BS to stoke fear and create hatred distrust of others, and in general chaos! That is all they have got!

(23,160 posts)You hit the nail on the head, it's about devaluing us down to the single role of babymaker and nothing else about us matters at all - especially not our desires not to have children as babies ourselves!!!

(25,986 posts)The risk of a fabricated tweet is one of the reasons I always prefer a link to the tweet rather than just a picture. The other is that I like to read the conversation stimulated by the wonderful comment.

(2,407 posts)IS there a stigma if a woman has an abortion?
Not with me there's not. And who gives a shit what someone who would stigmatize a woman for taking control of her future thinks?

(20,220 posts)If you're too poor to add another child to your family, there's a stigma if you get an abortion, but there's also a stigma if you have the child and get help through Medicaid, WIC and SNAP.
