"Every major health system in Louisiana" is warning Mike Johnson of 'devastation' from megabill

32. No, giving a KID lunch at school isn't "Socialism" or "WOKE."

And not giving kids lunch does nothing except punish them for coming from needy families, which is something regarding which the kids have no control or choice.

It's bad enough that Republicans think being poor is something people deserve, that they believe that if someone is poor, it's because because of some character flaw or moral failing, like being "lazy" or "irresponsible" or some shit. Of course that's a crock, but even IF it were true, I can't comprehend why they think it's appropriate to punish children for something that is not their fault, by depriving them of things like food, health care, a roof over their heads, clothing, educational opportunities, you name it! It's evil and sick, and it's the opposite of what the man they regard as their savior commanded his followers to do!

And then they have the nerve, the unmitigated GALL to want to criminalize women for choosing abortion instead of giving birth to babies they have no way to provide for adequately. They'll happily convict those women of "murder" and put them in prison for the rest of their lives, but they'd rather kill themselves than allocate a reasonable amount of money to help children whose parents lack the means to provide for them adequately.

And don't even get me started on their refusal to recognize the bodily autonomy of all people, pregnant or not, because I could rant all day, and none of us has time for that!
