Texas Railroad Commissioner Smitherman: Unborn "Would Have Voted Republican"

[TexasTowelie]

In a recent speech to an anti-abortion group on the economic impact of terminating pregnancies, Texas Railroad Commissioner Barry Smitherman, a Republican candidate for attorney general, said he believed many unborn babies "would have voted Republican."

"It's a strange statement," said Jessica Luther, an abortion rights activist in Austin. "I'm not sure what he's saying about their parents."

Smitherman spokesman Allen Blakemore called the candidate's statement a matter of statistics.

"Of course he was referring to the ones in Texas," Blakemore said, "and we know that the majority of Texans vote for Republican candidates."

Smitherman also touted the economic benefits to societies with high fertility rates and cautioned against heeding the warnings of overcrowding from "the same people that believe in global warming."

1. Gods, where on earth do these people get their 'facts?'

Lord and Lady, that's an ignorant statement.

2. The unborn, would probably change their minds on voting Republican because they starved,

did not get proper housing, curtailed education, low wages when working and listening to dumbasses like Smitherman makes. He is into forced births but does not want to sustain babies born to parents who can not afford a proper upbringing.

7. HA HA HA HA!

I was trying to visualize a political cartoon with Dr. Barry, RR, OBGyn.

reviewing two sonograms. One is of a and one of an elephant. He puts the Elephant sonpic into a basket: SACRED

and tosses the other in a trash can labled: Nec'sry t' save the life of the GOP

4. Really?

So he thinks that it's his party's women that are getting all the abortions? I say that because I don't think anyone becomes Republican by themselves...it's usually because their family is Republican and it's drilled into their heads how to vote.

And I'm sure I've heard repubs say that it's only Blacks and Latinos and poor people that are getting these abortions...I'm sure none of them would vote repub...
