Of course, there is always hope, but my initial reaction when I read what our new president and congress are doing is usually &#8220;what the f**k?&#8221; So let&#8217;s take yesterday&#8217;s health summit. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbn.com\/CBNnews\/553583.aspx\">Pro-life groups were shut out.<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jillstanek.com\/archives\/2009\/03\/post_70.html\"<Pro-choice groups were not.<\/a> Via Jill Stanek:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Listen carefully. Richards wants universal health care because the &#8220;millions of women who come to us are primarily low income.&#8221; PP&#8217;s clientele keeps it from raising its prices, which have increased only slightly over the decades. PP needs government intervention to increase its profit. This is one of 2 reasons why PP wants mandated taxpayer coverage for all PP&#8217;s services, including, of course, abortion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I keep thinking about what it means to help the &#8220;low income&#8221;. Why does it always come down to abortion and contraception? Millions and millions of dollars. I wonder what would happen if we took those millions of dollars and put them into true charitable causes-diapers, food, clothes, pencils, books&#8230;I not only wonder about the monetary, but the attitude if we didn&#8217;t dump money into <strike>eugenics<\/strike>&#8220;women&#8217;s healthcare&#8221;, but actual charity. Would people associate sex with reproduction? Would we value children more?<br \/>\nI stumbled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exceptionalmarriages.com\/weblog\/BlogDetail.asp?ID=41727\">this from Greg Popcak today:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My feeling?  I&#8217;m sick to death of these bleeding heart social conservatives who want a good education for poor kids.  Why should we pay for the education of children who really just should have been aborted in the first place?  Let&#8217;s be real here.  The Left is only pro-choice until the child is born,  and then f*** &#8217;em.   I mean, get with the times people!  Educating impoverished children is just sooooo &#8217;08.   Its time to get with teh new social ethic.  Crime, poverty, education, health care, inadequate housing and a host of other problem can all be solved if we just abort &#8217;em all and let God (if she exists) sort them out.
