The Republicans have been using the abortion issue to get the single-issue vote and demonize the Democrats. They use those buzzwords like "murder", "baby killer", and "innocent" to portray us Democrats as immoral and evil, as if we're out there seeking out your fetus like a vampire! The single-issue voters are all too willing to elect them as long as they say those magic words: "I am pro-life". And that's it! You can be the most corrupted politician imaginable, you can pillage our enviornment, loot social security, outsource jobs, even take away our civil liberties, but as long as you uttered those magic words then you can count on the single-issue vote!
I have always despised single-issue voters for not looking at the broader perspective, for following blindly like a Jonestown Alumni these Republicans into the gates of hell itself, enchanted by their own sense of righteousness and that magic buzzword "pro-life". For many Christians, this is the ONLY issue. They don't care how corrupt a person truly is as long as they claim to be "pro-life". Amazingly, death is all I've seen from Republicans. The Death of our economic future..the death of thousands of innocent civilians abroad..the death of our enviornment...the death of our middle class...the death of the sickest and most needy among us..the death of our civil liberties and the constitution. How these naive single-issue voters are convinced Republicans are "pro-life" is beyond me!
Besides, suppose you banned abortion tommorow. Completely 100% illegal nationwide. There is NO WAY the adoption rate can keep up with the birth rate! Once all the pro-life Christians adopt a few children, what then? The birth rate is increasing exponentially every year! Eventually, with the birth rate outpacing the adoption rate, one of two things will happen:
1) The Government will embark on one of the largest social programs in history trying to deal with these millions of unwanted children born each year. We will basically be forced to create "baby farms", where the unaborted children will be raised like cattle by the hundreds..the thousands..and eventually the millions! All funded by the taxpayer, of course. I'm sure once it starts costing them money, Republicans will drop their "pro-life" stance and come back to a practical solution to the population problem! I suppose the baby farms will make an excellent recruiting tool for the industrial-military complex, however.
2) Adoption standards will be reduced to the point where you now have "Baby Wal-Marts". The screening process of potential parents will be accelerated, putting more children into the hands of unfit or otherwise abusive parents. Right now MONEY is the main incentive for foster homes. Foster parents are paid on a per-child basis. I have personally seen foster homes with as many as 10 children. These children are often victims of abuse and neglect, withdrawn and afraid of people in general, suddenly thrust into a strange home with ten or fifteen other children. There is no time for the one-on-one care and attention the child requires to overcome their abuse. This will only get worse with the influx of the millions of children each year being put into the system because of the anti-abortion laws. So entire generations will be born and raised in foster homes, forgotten and neglected...BUT ALIVE PRAISE JESUS!!!
