List the Hypocrisies of the "Culture of Life" here:

[goodboy]

mine:

1 in 4 women now have enough mercury in their bodies to cause birth defects, yet bush's Clear Skies Initiative allows for a 420% INCREASE in the amount of mercury released into our air, compared to the Clean Air Act.

[BlueEyedSon]

1. 100,000 murdered Iraqis, more than half women & children. nt

[seabeyond]

17. i hear number up over 300k

that 100k has been a good year. have been looking a new number. saw over 125k, but yesterday saw an article on this board over 300k

[jojo54]

2. It's like I've said over and over again....

we are all expendable. The only ones who aren't are the have mores' so the BFEE can get more rich by the day.

When * makes initiates a law like "No Child Left Behind", he really means it!!!

[goodboy]

3. another one: 60% of wounded soldiers coming back from Iraq have

traumatic brain injuries, but Bush has completely ZEROED OUT funding for the Federal Traumatic Brain Injury Act, which provides exactly this kind of help...

23. Abortion is higher

now during the * administration because women feel they can't afford to raise a child in this economy.

[jsw_81]

4. A few:

- Dropping cluster bombs on Iraqi villages filled with women and children: GOOD

- Funding education/health care for the poor: BAD

- Spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a "missile defense" system that can't work and might actually increase the chance of nuclear war: GOOD

- Paying workers enough so that they won't need food stamps to live: BAD

- Acid rain/pollution: GOOD

- Protecting ANWR from oil drilling: BAD

[goodboy]

6. *shakes head* "erring on the side of life" in Mrs. Schiavo case-good

Saving Medicaid, and thus saving life- Bad

[rkc3]

10. Cutting veterans benefits = GOOD

[ohio_liberal]

5. Keep a woman in Florida alive against her wishes..

Remove a baby in Texas from a ventilator against the mother's wishes. :crazy:

[goodboy]

7. good one. (nt)

[goodboy]

8. Global warming could cause a mass extinction,

but they don't believe in the science, so they'll not 'err' on the side of the life of the planet.

[goodboy]

9. this one sunk fast....geez...(nt)

[Katarina]

11. Mine:

"In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in favor of life."

Too bad you didn't follow these words before you lied about WMD's and bombed the shit out of a sovereign country. WE had serious doubts, WE had questions....how come YOU didn't err in favor of life Mr. Bush?

[goodboy]

12. well said, Kat. Well, said. (nt)

[Ilsa]

13. Policies which change content of sex ed resulting in higher

abortions rates since the year after taking office. NOT "Pro-life".

[goodboy]

14. on that note, promising 15BN to fight AIDS, and then underfunding it

by 38%

[Ilsa]

16. That must have been his side deal with Congress:

I'll promise this to look good, but don't you dare fund it!

[goodboy]

19. you mean like the "every child left behind" act? (nt)

[Vinca]

15. 45 million uninsured nt

[Ilsa]

18. That story of the young woman with SMA losing Home Health Care

She has Spinal Muscular Atrophy and has home health care at about $20,000 a year on Medicaid. But because she is turning 21, she will be forced to move intot a nursing home at a much greater cost to the taxpayer, and she doesn't wish it because it limits her educational and work opportunities and chances to be with her family.

[Ilsa]

20. 1,530 troops dead. 11,000+ wounded

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[goodboy]

21. Did you know that 60% of wounded troops have traumatic brain injury

and bush has not just 'cut' he's ELIMINATED funding for the TBI act.

[Ilsa]

22. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I read about it here on DU and

I emailed it out to all my friends who are like-minded and some who aren't, including someone in the mental healthcare industry. Those neocons are the real monsters. They scream "life is sacred" but their actions don't support their preaching!
