Alaska: Rep. Eastman of the family values party says it's actually a net benefit to society when a child dies from abuse & neglect because of the financial burden it would otherwise put on the state budget.

That’s a demented and sick human being. My god. What about the child’s potential to become a productive member of society? This is being evil. This person should resign.

I honestly can’t believe someone said that who is an elected official. There’s things I want to say about values and religion but I have to refrain. If I start on that theme the rant will go on forever. Damn these people. Monsters.

… to bear as many infants as she happens to get pregnant with. If she miscarries any of them or if anything otherwise goes wrong with a pregnancy, her docs will hesitate to save her life.

Yeah, pro-life.

Having read his bio on wiki, I am pouring a STRONG drink. What a sick and twisted HINO! And we paid for that fucker's education (USMA). He hates ourr election system, except for his own election. Abd, naturally, a WOMAN-HATING PIECE OF FILTH.

A member of the Alaska House of Representatives was censured on Wednesday for comments he made implying some Alaskan women get abortions for free travel.

Rep. David Eastman, a Republican from Wasilla, told Alaska Public Media that some women take advantage of Medicaid-funded travel for medically necessary abortions.

“You have individuals who are in villages and are glad to be pregnant, so that they can have an abortion because there’s a free trip to Anchorage involved,” Eastman told the outlet, which published the comments on May 3. Eastman also made a similar statement to The Associated Press.

The comments were in reference to a sexual assault and child abuse awareness bill that Eastman successfully amended to include a line about abortion, calling it “the ultimate form of child abuse.”

Seems like someone to keep tabs on. He’s seriously devoid of compassion, empathy, and apparently capable of wishing children dead to save a few bucks.

Plus how does he know these kids are a burden to the government?


Republicans are heartless grunts.
