Clearly I feel better, since I need to talk about public welfare again. My temper, it rises —
Here is a fantastic article about child poverty — and if you were living in a cave, the House just voted down federal aide for Planned Parenthood.
Anyone who thinks that child poverty and access to Planned Parenthood are not intertwined is a fool.
If you voted for anyone of those Republicans in office, who just tried to cut off vital funding for women’s medical care — please, I beg of you to reconsider ever doing it again.
Can we, in a conscientious society, tolerate having people in office who believe that it is right to deny desperately needed options and medical care to half of our populace?
I say no.
What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this country?
Those Republicans have become the snake eating their own tail, unable to see that eventually lack of solid social structure will lead to their own demise.
They’ll keep eating up funds and liberties, gnawing away — and what they don’t realize is that with each bite, they erode away labor, hope, willingness, and opportunity. By taking away chances for women to control their own reproductive destinies, you’ll wind up with more child poverty, and for those children — less chances, less skilled workers, less innovation, less enthusiasm — less of everything that, ironically, they think “Makes America Great!”
How can they not see that? How can anyone vote for them?
