What's with the new conservative meme comparing abortion to lemonade stands [View all]
on Facebook? I just read it on three different feeds and have argued with all three.
"A middle school girl is free to get an abortion without parental consent, but if she puts a lemonade stand on her lawn she'll be fined. What a bleak and reductive concept of 'personal freedom.'"
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. A middle school girl is usually under the age of 14 and in most state sex with a child under the age of 14 is a big-time felony, not to mention that in most (if not all-not sure) states in order for a child that young to get an abortion w/o consent she'd have to appear in front of a judge. Appearing at that young may raise a number of questions, which will involve the police on a rape case.
They are now comparing child rape to lemonade stands and it's sickening. As the mother of a middle school aged daughter I'm disgusted.
