thought just occurred to me this morning regarding anit-abortion

The poor are the most likely to suffer from anti-abortion laws
The wealthy just go over to Canada or Europe where the population has some brains regarding this matter
If the anti-abortion people really cared about life why haven't they seen to it that people in the US have dental/medical care?
Mental health services, a decent place to live, adequate education? It strikes me that those who can afford these basic human needs (aka the well to do) need slave labor...what is cheaper labor than an poorly educated individual. It all boils down to cheap labor in the guise of "Christian" values. What part of Christian did anit-abortionist miss when they ignore the heartache and poverty this nation so blithely ignores. What did Christ say to do? feed the hungry, etc..did you miss that part? When you start being honest with yourselves then maybe I'll listen to you.

they had their own doctors. They have always had access to safe abortions. The RW would never go after them.

and He did not talk about abortion, or gay marriage, or homosexuality. In my view many of these GOP true believers wear their faith as a garment, but like a garment, it does not penetrate the surface.

...outlook. "They are pro-birth. Once you're born, you're fucked." (possible paraphrase, but you get the point)

If the born have it too good, they would not need to join the military in desperation to better their lot.
