Has the country lost its Freaking MIND?!?!?!?
Yesterday I took aim at Fox News' continual bashing of Planned Parenthood via the phony baloney hidden camera exposes. I stand by that because I don't believe one can get a fair and balanced report from someone posing as pregnant and falsifying a scenario. But for the house to defeat a bill banning gender based abortions and the White House backing it up is a disgrace to this country! Are we heading toward China, where a girl baby can be killed simply because they impose a limit on children and people want boys to carry on for the family?!?!? The Democrats accuse the Republicans for starting and maintaining a war on women yet it is now okay to abort a fetus simply on the basis of gender? We are either heading toward China or becoming like the mythological race of women as portrayed in the old DC comic "Wonder Woman". Neither is acceptable for this country and, as a father of 2 daughters, I would expect...no...I would demand Barack Obama to speak up against this stupidity. I don't want Roe v Wade overturned. As a woman, I control my body and would expect to continue that control. But abortion was never meant to be a means of birth control much less gender selection. Birth control should be mandatory for all public assistance families who just keep having kids. The country can not afford to subsidize families who think it is okay to keep having kids and not be able to support them on their own. Media should stop glorifying overpopulation and irresponsibility by making TV shows based on the Duggars, Jon and Kate, the Octomom and even teen mother reality shows. If you can't afford it, you save for it or work hard to maintain it, but the out of control deficit surely isn't teaching the lessons that my parents taught me. My technical ex is not on disability because he wants to be, it is because he HAS to be. The EBT card is not something he wants but something he needs because the mothly disability doesn't cover everything necessary to keep a roof over the head, power on, etc.. Wake up, USA! The country needs to stop referring to entitlement spending and call it what it is...a living assistance. They just need to be stricter on the rules for getting it. If you are awaiting your 5th child...or the 30th like the guy recently locked up for not supporting his kids...and you have no job, you don't deserve squat. Assistance was always meant as a hand up, not a hand out.
