I hate to say it but people just suck. I think we are soon approaching 50% of America will need full government assistant. We need to stop breeding. We would be better of with a population at 1/2 as what it is today.

Great post!
Do you know why they focus on abortion? Because it's easy, all they have to do is judge, point fingers and tell people what they think they should be doing. If they really care they would actually help those that can't help themselves, they would adopt all those children that are already neglected and abuse. They don't want solutions, they only want to feel holier than thou!
Such cultural misinformation has been used to pass sex-selective abortion laws in eight states and bring them up for consideration in at least 21. But the racist accusations of proponents of these laws are false. In fact, Asian Americans have more girls on average than white Americans, according to a recent study by the University of Chicago School of Law. Still, sex-selective abortion laws were the second most-proposed abortion ban in 2013 and 2014.
These laws are part of a broader attack on women’s health and rights, which cause disproportionate harm to women of color. That the only two women prosecuted under Indiana’s feticide law are of Asian descent — when Asian residents are only 2 percent of the state’s population — is no coincidence. The conversations around anti-choice laws creates biases against pregnant Asian American women. Further, immigrant women are made more vulnerable to these laws because they are isolated from reproductive and mental health services that rarely have the cultural knowledge and language resources to reach them. As a result, they may take riskier paths to ending their pregnancies.
Feticide laws, sex-selective abortion bans and similar legislation need to be seen for what they are — proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are simply efforts to limit abortion rights through laws falsely touted as protecting women and families. Instead of criminalizing Asian American and immigrant women with these onerous laws, states should be creating culturally sensitive resources that help them safely exercise their reproductive rights and access quality mental-health care.

if you want to know what our country would look like if abortion was severely restricted, all you have to look to is central america. as far as I am concerned, forcing little girls that young to have babies is criminal, and well, a religion that would excommunicate anyone that would help these girls get the abortion that just might save their lives and not the rapists that make them pregnant to begin with, well, that is just a religion I would prefer to walk away with.

Here's a thought ... perhaps we should focus on creating jobs instead of cutting benefits, eh?

You are correct: forcing them to have those babies is criminal indeed.
"Towards the end of the pregnancy she could not get up on her own at night and often panicked. Her father, from whom I am divorced, blames me. He says I have not brought her up properly, that's why it happened. When I told him on the phone that the twins had been born he said, 'I hear what you say'. Since then he has neither phoned nor come to see us."
