You know the kicker to all this: most of those people griping about her having too many kids probably advocate for a woman's right to choose. They just never consider that part of a woman's right to choose, is the right to have a large family if she fucking wants them.

But this isn't really about how many kids she has, it's about how much people hate paying taxes for social programs they don't actually reap the benifit of*-- and that's a whole other can of sardines.

*At this moment. They change their tunes fast when they can cash in.

	That's what I was thinking. Also of the pro-lifers who are anti-welfare, forgetting that we actually have to take care of the kids that they're working so hard to save. -_- (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah but you see fetuses are pure and virtuous, the distilation of God's Love! Once they are born, they quickly become tainted with misbehavior, such as irritating loud noises and obnoxious smells, and they forfiet the right to any care about their welfare. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Not to mention anti-universal health care - including prenatal care. Who cares if they're healthy, as long as they get born? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The behavior of those people leads me to suspect that in their perfect world, poor people's babies would all be born, baptized and die in the space of half an hour--preferably by the side of the road, so mother and child don't clog up the hospitals. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Well, for some of them, it's less about the children and more about the fact that people are having SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE AND IT IS AGAINST GOD'S LAW DAMNIT. I'm sure many of them do indeed care about the fetuses, but I can't help but feel that the fact that no fetuses were harmed is seen by some to be less the main goal and more of an extra benefit.

And now for something completely different!

	Right on both accounts. And with the latter, do they ever put any time into attempting to better the system? I do believe the answer is no. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To be fair, I know a few who are. But—and this is key—they're out there actually putting in that time, as opposed to dogpiling on someone on the Internet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
