BIRTH OR NOT TO BIRTH- THAT IS THE QUESTION
Why are we so surprised? Square politicians have been stacking the courts for years with the main goals of getting rid of Row vs Wade. But it is hard to win rights, then once granted, take them away. This will be a social experiment of what it looks like when you take away people’s rights.
Who needs abortions? Certainly not Amy Barret. She has 7 kids. How did she managed to go to law school and raise 7 kids? She must have great church and family child support. But not everyone has such support. More than half of all mothers on welfare had their first child as a teenager. Majority of teenage mothers do not have a high school degree. Teenage mothers were 2.2 times more likely to have their children placed in foster care before age 5. Daughters of teenage moms are 3x more likely to become teenage mothers themselves. The sons of these young moms are 2x more likely to end up in prison.
The United States has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in industrialized nations, even though our national teen birth rate has declined by 30% between 1991 to 2002. If this had not happened 460,000 more children would be living in poverty. This decrease has saved taxpayers 6.7 billion dollars in 2004 alone. Teen pregnancy cost the US at least 9 billion annually.
And where is teen pregnancy predominantly happening? Let’s see…by highest to lowest- Arkansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, West Virginia, Tennessee…Humm.
Now let’s play a little game; guess which of the 10 Supreme Court Judges are the 6 conservative ones without knowing anything but where they hail from.
1-D.C
2 - San Francisco
3 - New Jersey
4 - Indiana
5 - Georga
6- New York
7- Puerto Rico
8 - Colorado
9 - Maryland
10 - New Orleans
Geography is definitely a part of the conservative/liberal element.
Ironically, the new Supreme Court will be also wanting to strengthen the right to carry guns as well as to create more prisons. So, teenage girls can birth unwanted children, give the poor and uneducated grown kids guns to carry, then when that goes awry, put them in prison. This sounds like a thought-out population plan - (not).
We are about to hit 8 billion in the world population. Our decisions are crucial since scientists have predicted that the Earth can only support 9 – 10 billion. It is just another case of conservative head-up-ass syndrome. Just add it to the there is no global warming. Praise the Lord.
What are we to do? You can lay in the street or scream at people or protest or shake your head and laugh. Humanity- we thought we were smart, but our prevailing culture is so dumb.
Watch the Netflix movie Don’t Look Up and the classic movie Idiocracy. They are so close to the truth it hurts.
