Woman has best response to anti-abortion protester for only caring about foetus until it's born

[Soph0571]

What happens next? Once you have succeeded in your quest to stop the termination of a pregnancy – disregarding the circumstances for why the woman or couple wants to terminate (failed birth control, rape, lack of financial stability, unsuitable environment, domestic violence, mental health issues, lack of employment, medical issues, lack of comprehensive sexual education) – what happens next?

Who pays for the prenatal or postnatal care? Surely not a couple working minimum wage who can barely afford their rent. Who provides healthcare and funds medical bills for single women with no place to live? Or a married couple who struggle to afford the children they already have? Who assists the millions of children in foster care still waiting to be adopted? Who helps them when they hit the street at 18 with no money or life skills?

She continued – who will find affordable birth control? Healthcare and education?

“That’s the parent’s responsibility,” the anti-abortionist cautiously responded.

And there’s the money shot. Here’s a wakeup call – you don’t get to come into my inbox and shit all over my Sunday with your over-inflated Messiah complex with your Facebook profile filled with delusions of superiority declaring yourself to be on the side of “life”, when in reality your compassion stops just inside the vaginal canal.

Don’t embarrass yourself and pretend that you give a flying f**k about what happens once a foetus is born, or about the people who aren’t equipped to raise them. Don’t pretend you give a shit about children when you aren’t prepared to do a damn thing about the millions of struggling families on welfare, or the millions of children in foster care..

1. I'm in Georgia.

Whenever I can, I post about how local taxes will need to go up, a lot, and very soon, to acquire land to build new schools. We already have overcrowding in DeKalb county.

2. There's never money for schools.

And most always money for new prisons.

3. Excellent!

I like this quote by Sister Joan Chittister, too.





And a Christian friend of mine posted this on their FB page. I thought it was excellent, as well. Their hypocrisy is glaring.

Thanks for sharing both of those!

6. Using this!

TRUTH.

12. These are a couple of the best quotations I've seen on the hypocrisy of

the so-called 'pro-life' group.

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. THIS!!

5. This is a thing of beauty.

I love when people lay it all out there and expose the blatant hypocrisy of the "pro-life" movement.

7. Republicans/conservatives/supposed pro-lifers are in favor of killing living babies and have done so

Republicans/conservatives/supposed pro-lifers are in favor of killing living babies and have done so.

Pro-life is a myth.

The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.

It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.

It is a matter of control.

8. To paraphrase Jesus:

"What so ever you do to the least of my children, that you do unto me."

That's children, as in after they are born.
Republicans care little about these children, only to the extent that they make up a poor, uneducated mass of workers who can be relied on to perpetuate the reality of economic slavery.
They know that ignorance and despair can be effectively used if it can harnessed and direct it at their enemies.
All they have to do is make these people think it's someone else's fault.
They're very good at that; fanning the fires of resentment until it burns with hatred for other people who are brown, or black, or liberal, or refugees, or Muslims or whatever the Republicans want them to hate.

This is the extent of Republicans concern for America.

9. Bookmarking worthy.

Thanks for this great post.

10. Their interest will peak again when the fetus turns 18 and they need bodies to fight the next war.

That interest will quickly dwindle when those same kids become veterans. Then they become a financial liability.

Not enough money for the veterans because they need it for their next giveaway to the bone spurred cowards with medical deferments from that generation.

You know who they are, the ones that wrap themselves in the flag or worse wrap themselves around the flag.

Patriotism to them is preaching to others how to be "true" American Patriots.

I am a veteran, I followed in my grandfather's service in the Army in WW I. Then my dad's service in the Navy in WW II. Then my USAF service in the Vietnam war. And finally two of my kids in the Army during Desert Storm.

18. They want more poor kids so they can make money off of them.

They feed them to the meat grinder of war or they get tax money to keep them in prison. Or, if the child is attractive, maybe she can be trafficked. A backward culture like ours requires some excess population to sacrifice to our bloody gods.

11. Had to bookmark this one.

It isn't a new argument, but it is very much true.

13. Kick & rec. GOP is the love the fetus, cage the child party.

[MadDAsHell]

14. This single issue is worth tens of millions of votes to the Rethuglican party.

It's outrageous what voters have and will continue to overlook as long as they think their candidate is more likely to install anti-choice Supreme Court justices.

I am apalled that 40% of women are anti-choice, but even more apalled that they let that view override all other issues by willingly putting a pussy grabber in the White House.

As long as there's a glimmer of hope that For is overturned (or at least Republican politicians convince voters there is), that is a huge block of voters we will never have a chance with no matter how many other issues they probably agree with us on.

15. Exactly. Population Growth for Republicans is about their stock portfolios

They rely on cheap labor, capitalist cannon fodder, consumers. Without more people, Republicans can't make money.
It's all about money to them. Period.

17. It's not "pro-life" or even "anti-abortion". It's PRO-FORCED BIRTH. n/t
