For the record, while I don't appreciate how we got to the status-quo concerning abortion (it was something should have been decided legislatively and not judicially), I think the status-quo is good. Abortion is fucking terrible, but in a lot of cases it's the least of all possible evils.
For the record, I'm not a fan that people who are supposed to be against government control of your lives (I mean hell, making it so people could afford health insurance was the same as facisociacommunism) are 100% fine with the government telling people what to do with their own uterus and I also don't appreciate how many people against abortion are entirely against organizations like Planned Parenthood and tax cuts/welfare to help out the lower-class mothers that they just forced to have a baby they can't afford since there's no reliable way to get an abortion near them.
That is the most amazing run-on sentence I have ever seen. It made me think:
I don't think the government should be telling people what to do with their uterus. I'm pretty sure I said that...oh, yeah, I did,
you quoted it.
Part of controlling your own life instead of the government controlling it for you is taking responsibility for your own life. When you say "making it so people could afford health insurance," they weren't just waving a magic wand and creating a whole new reality where unicorns farted rainbows at kittens. The health care "reform" sewage myself and others opposed didn't do anything more than make healthcare more confusing, and I think that was on purpose. There is too much "sleight of hand" in government accounting, too many shifted funds and pay-offs to lobbies. So many of you complain about "corporate interests," but miss how the bill gave huge chunks of money to AT&T, Verizon, the UAW, and GE (among others) to subsidize the cost of healthcare for their employees. If that was so important, why did it only happen for a few companies? Why did it happen for
any companies? When some of you finally do realize what a charade the whole thing is, you're just going to shrug and say, "well, it's better than nothing." They aren't going to fix what's broken about it later, either. They'll just do as they did this time, make a lot of noise and gin up worry about the state of healthcare to cover their ass so that they can go back in, pay off some more cronies, and make the mess even bigger.
And you know, I don't give a fuck how goddamn poor you are, you do have a choice about whether or not to get knocked up. Being poor doesn't stop you from getting and using birth control, which is pretty fucking cheap, especially compared to either an abortion, or even more expensive, raising a child. You want to point fingers and give us platitudes about accountability, why don't you make the hard choice and expect some accountability from those poor, put-upon, downtrodden wretches instead of being another enabler. You talk as if those people are only where they're at because somehow the people at the top are leeching off of them (and just how the fuck do you steal from people who don't have shit, answer me that, Batman?), but you never give pause to consider that maybe they should be more worried about their basic concerns than they are about $500 sneakers, cellphones, big screen TVs, game systems, etc. I don't even need your answer, because I see the reality. You can't say anything about those people taking responsibility for themselves because if you did, it would show that you don't "care," and it doesn't matter that the philosophy and policy you follow mires those people in a hell of bad decision-making and lives of misery, because the consequences don't matter so long as everyone knows how goddamn big your heart is and how much you, unlike those evil conservative/republicans/whatever, care. It doesn't matter what sort of suffering your idiocy causes so long as you feel good about yourself and don't have to see it.
Planned Parenthood is a private organization, and if everyone who
caaaaaaareeeees as much as do you put their money where their mouth is, it wouldn't need government funding. Just more proof that it's easier to spout empty platitudes and expect everyone else to do the heavy lifting than it is to walk the walk that goes with the talk.
