Simple Solution

Texas has made quite a name for itself in the last few months for ridiculously hardline party voting in favor of anti-aborition legislation. Legislation that realistically given Roe v. Wade shouldn’t actually have any kind of standing in any state but that’s neither here nor there. But the problem isn’t just in Texas. In fact, more and more in everywhere from Virginia to Ohio these bills are cropping up in record numbers. In spite of the fact that the states really should have better things to be doing right about now. The economy of most states isn’t anywhere near where they should be, and yet we’re really concerning ourselves with this bullshit?

But… since they don’t want to stop, I think I’ve come up with, what I believe to be a fair solution to the problem. The way I see it, if certain politicians in their ‘infinite wisdom’ feel that they have the right to force someone to keep their baby, then those politicians should flip the bill for all medical expenses incurred. Food expenses, educational expenses and help raise the child. And for anyone who wants to say that this is some kind of liberal entitlement understand that if a politician wants to feel that they’re entitled to tell anyone what they can and cannot do then they obviously feel that they are co-parent of said ‘child’ and therefore should have to provide as much assistance as any other parent. Frankly if you believe the government should be smaller, but also believe the government should stop people from getting married and having abortions then you’re not only crazy you’re a hypocrite. More importantly if you want the government to be smaller I suggest you start with quitting your job, because let’s face it folks, state government is government too. Ultimately if Rick Perry and his ilk want to tell women that they should be forced by the state to keep a pregnancy for whatever reason then Mr. Perry and his friends should have to help out. And if you don’t want to help because ‘hey that’s not my responsibility’ then why don’t you shut your mouth and leave politics to the grown ups, because if it’s not your responsibility to raise that child and you certainly don’t want to do anything to fix education or actually do something about child hunger then I guess it’s not your responsibility to be deciding whether or not that fetus is born or not.
