Abortion, Part 3: The Old Joke
Abortion, Part 3: The Old Joke
There is an old joke about the so-called "pro-life" movement. It goes like this: "The anti-abortion pro-life movement believes that life begins at conception and ends at birth."
The Republican Party is now the so-called "pro-life" party. Where do they stand on social programs that actually help people who are already born? They choose tax cuts for the filthy rich almost every time over any help for the poor. They even tried to cut Head Start Programs. Those programs are geared to helping poor families who often have problems dealing with a disabled child. That one example alone tells you all you need to know.
A Party that was "pro-life" would be supportive of health insurance coverage that would protect children and adults. They would support public education and help with college student debt. The list could go on. Tax cuts should not get in the way of any of that.
