(4,847 posts)In my environmental science class in the late eighties, we read writings at the time from people like liddy, bailey, buchanan. And the writings at the time was the argument for banning abortion, not for the sanctity of potential life, not for the well being of the woman; no, it was for the argument that the whites in the future were going to be the minority. And, I remember my professor stating that if they outlaw abortion, they will go after birth control.
Sure enough, we've got some of these cretins discussing banning birth control.
So, tell me how a person can spout BS about "freedom" when they apparently enjoy that authoritarian persona?
It seems that the present goal of the repugs is to finally kill any social program that helps the people and sell us outright to any and all corporations, including foreign ones. And when they're done doing that, just see how much more power those corporations will have over the people, how much more we will have to pay for shitty services, and how much more corruption there will be. It has taken the right over thirty years to get a segment of the population to believe that government is evil. We are the government; unless we give that right away, especially to monied interests.
