Here's another point that I rarely see made in the abortion debate.<br /><br />That is: any efforts by the GOP to outlaw abortion are really aimed at working-class and middle-class people in America, not the rich.<br /><br />The rich have never (and will never) face any problems securing "solutions" for inconvenient pregnancies. They can always just hop aboard their Gulfstream jets and fly to a discreet, state-of-the-art clinic in some place like Denmark.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-67907236010126607982009-10-12T18:09:00.970-05:002009-10-12T18:09:00.970-05:00There are many paradoxes contained within the auth...There are many paradoxes contained within the authoritarian conservative Republican belief system. The first is their stated belief that all life is sacred and that they're pro-life. Of course, this only applies to babies in the womb. In their view, once a person is born he or she is on his or her own. If you live in poverty, too bad---welfare is evil. If you're a convicted criminal, you must be put to death (even if evidence proves you are not guilty). If you're a Muslim rather than a Christian, it's ok for us to wage war against you and kill innocent women and children in the process. If you're an "illegal alien", you shouldn't get needed medical care. (They conveniently ignore the fact that the Pilgrims were also "illegal aliens" and that a number of them eventually engaged in genocide against the indigenous people on this continent).<br /><br />These people, including Governor Goodhair, are not the rational, righteous Christians they envision themselves as. Rather, they are insane hypocrites.Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.com
