America is a failed nation, you just have to look at our "Representatives" to see this. Stupid runs amok. MSM is nothing but corporate propaganda. The people of this nation have no representation in Government.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

OP
Probably not. More likely they do it because they want to control their women.

The reason they want to control Women is Women have told them NO when they wanted

actually, imho, it is because the male human animal has an innate fear of being a cuckhold.

Is it really hypocrisy when a CHILD doesn't do what a PARENT says they should?

Yes, remembering the Bristol Palin hypocrisy. Something about glass houses and throwing rocks???

It looks like a map of Italy and coastal Greece drawn by either a three-year-old or a drunk.

Poor kid. Now she's young, pregnant, and a working symbol of abuse from her dad, no doubt.

Actually, what many pro-lifers really want is for every single child born out of wedlock
