I am so glad I'm spayed!!
Seriously, folks, if you don't like abortion, don't have one! But butt the fuck out of someone else's control over their own life and body!! Your damned religion isn't binding on the rest of the fucking world!
You know, if every time a kid died of abuse or neglect, the father had his nuts cut off, I bet abortion would become a sacrament. I bet if every time a kid who was born when the mother was underage got convicted of a crime, the father of the kid and the father of the girl had their nuts cut off, it would be a holy rite.
Do you know why crime started dropping (and they started making more things criminal to keep the jail guards working) in the 90s? Roe v Wade in the 70s enabled lots of poor, unwed, desperate girls to abort the kids who would otherwise be today's criminals. And yes, I'm talking about white, black, hispanic and everything else.
Yes, the abortion restrictions that are coming down the pipe will screw over poor and minority girls the most. Where else are the wealthy white male rethuglicans and religious reich goons going to get their docile "saved" cannon fodder? Yep, the desperate poor. The army is always a better bet than starving. Even if you get dead, you at least had a meal in the last day, and the government pays for your burial. If you drink the salvation koolaid, you get the snazzy house in the hereafter.
They have to make sure that their new hordes of hungry poor don't get too much education, though. So they make sure to whack funding for fair, thorough, secular education past a minimal ability to read a recruiting brochure, along with the ability to get an abortion, and eventually birth control or information about pregnancy prevention. After all, they can't learn anything but what the masters want them to.
This is only partly about race, but more about class, wealth, and priviledge. Rich, white, conservative men are the only ones who stand to gain. Poor men, and all women are screwed. Not only that, but even if you are a white guy, unless your daddy was rich and wanted you, you're still going to be fucked.

When life begins is irrelevant, unless someone believes all killing is wrong. In which case I trust they oppose armed police, all wars, meat animals, . . . ?
"Miracle" means "something so wonderful you are in awe of it," unless one thinks only some things in this world are amazing and the rest is humdrum. In which case I am sorry for that person and if he/she is religious, I think she/he needs to think about it . . . Of course kids are a miracle. But so's my big toe and so's the medical science that makes abortion safe and, yes, far less traumatic than being forced to carry when you really cannot abide the notion.
Good entry. Sadly, the fact that the vast majority of Americans support choice doesn't matter to the blue-nosed control freaks who now run the place.
