The good news is, as the mid-terms come closer, some Repugnakins in Congress are less supportive of the megalomaniac in the White House than they have been (lest they be tainted by his failures and downright wackiness.)

The bad news is some good citizens of this country will forget these same Repugnakins are the bozo’s who got us here, 8 trillion dollar national debt, debacle in Iraq, and all. And, as a result of this forgetfulness, at least some of these great Repugnakin men and women will be reelected to Congress. All of which proves once again that there is no God watching over us. Or, if there is a God he/she has a very twisted sense of humor.

I think of my beautiful young niece who will be of childbearing age in another 4 or 5 years, and the world we will have given her. The Torquemadas and fetus idolators would sacrifice her for all the reasons stated above– fear and loathing of sex, the insane need to control who is allowed to have sex, pure hypocrisy, a complete lack of critical thinking. Welcome to “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

States with large and poor minorities do have educational problems also.

My intuition tells me that your postulation may have a base in fact. I live in Georgia - recently moved here- and there is the expected minority underclass here as well, but Georgia has lots more money than, say, Mississipi and more economic opportunity and public services across the board.

I could be wrong, but when opportunities and services are limited, the first people to get shorted are the “other” ones - the minorities. We all know how sinful and degraded the “others”, are.:)

I think there is a connection, but the ones I come up with don’t seem to logically follow. It could be that the minorities aren’t as politically active in these states- this is true in the states I’ve lived in which have reservations.

Well, I’m over my head - too many maybes!

Whenever you ask pro-lifers are they willing to help provide for these unwanted children they go in hiding, you can’t get an answer.

They will not help to reduce infant mortality, that would cost money.

I can’t see it any other way: after birth life has no value.

Why are many pro-lifers against contraception, against CONDOMS in the world of AIDS, against GAY marriage, against sex education, all for ABSTINENCE and much more?

It all is because sex is sinful, unwanted pregnancy is punishment (if you had sex you have to be held responsible. Adoption or poverty)

It is religion. People like Fallwell, Dobson, Roberts, Donahough and others want to force women to live by their believes.

So here’s a postulation: States with a large ethnic minority “underclass” are more likely to have state legislatures that get obsessed with banning abortions than other states. Hmmm.
