Petitions delivered urging Brownback to veto anti-abortion measures
In other news, child poverty in Kansas has reached a whopping 21%. Nearly half of all Kansas children receive either free or reduced lunches at school. For every 100 children that are eligible for Head Start early education, there are less than 7 slots available. <br>
This gives the face to the saying that, to Republicans, "if you're "preborn", you're fine. If you're preschool, you're &^%$ed".<br>
Screaming about "the babiieeesss" isn't just hypocritical, it's heartless and cruel when those children are left in poverty.<br><br>
“I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.”
— Sister Joan Chittister, Catholic Nun <br><br>
This is the culture of "Post birth abortion" that Sam Brownback espouses. These are the crack addicted and fetal alcohol syndrome kids that die before the age of five and are incinerated and/or buried in unmarked graves by the welfare system. These are the kids of mentally ill mothers that beat them and bruise them and neglect and starve them, even when they have food stamps. These are the kids that go for years being sexually abused, run away from home at the age of thirteen to try and escape the hell and end up being sex trafficed, going from one hell to another. Then they have kids of their own and perpetuate the cycle all over again. These are the kids that end up in foster care, a special hell of it's own. They are unadoptable. They're too old, not the right color, have overwhelming disabilities like autism where they scream at 14 hours a stretch. TANF has a 48 month lifetime cap. Just what the heck do you think happens to those kids when that 48 months is up?<br>
Your new laws will force more babies to be born, alright. Straight into the arms of hell. And your governor dares...DARES...to talk about a "culture of life".<br>
Yeah. Right.

A friend of mine made the comment, "Every holier-than-thou nitwit in every state legislature in every state needs to be forced to read that, several times and out loud."

It still blows me away that, just by being elected to a governmental position, career politicians like Sammie and people that own car dealerships, furniture stores and insurance agencies suddenly also get a medical degree and think they can invade the exam rooms and bedrooms of the citizens they "represent". I find something just a little sick and voyeuristic about it, don't you?

So is an onion skin (which is a cell membrane). What's your point?

The "homunculus" theory of reproduction went out the window when van Leeuwenhoek invented the microscope. He identified spermatozoa in 1677. But he was also a Dutch Calvinist. It took the Roman Catholic Church a few centuries to catch up.

Gee, isn't it interesting to note that the doctor was shut down and is under arrest for doing those things under existing laws? You think I and others don't know that these kind of people exist and are just as much of a threat to women as back alley abortionists? You don't realize that the whole point of keeping it legal is to keep it SAFE?

Just out of curiosity, rtwngr, have YOU seen the results of an abortion other than those pictures shown to you on the internet? Have you actually been to a clinic and seen the "products of conception" and held the container in your hand? Because I can guarantee, if you had, your Frankenstein, nightmare, "Night of the Living Dead" descriptions would be shown for the BS they are.<br>
"Have you seen the result of an abortion?"<br>
Yes, I have. And you obviously haven't.

Abortion rights supporters will ask Brownback to reject bills, but he is likely to sign them into law
Hell would freeze over before Sam would veto this bill. Not even telling him the sheer amount of money it will cost the state to defend it in court just to watch it lose would stop him. (I'm pretty sure he's already aware of it.) He's not a "fiscal conservative". He *is* a religious right anti-abortion zealot who will cram his agenda down the throats of the state's citizens no matter what it costs or how they feel. He has the "powah" and he's going to damn sure use it. <br>
Brownback will never get to be president of "Murrica". I'm pretty sure he knows that now. But by god he can be a tin horn dictator in his own little fast drying up mud puddle with the rest of his bully boys. Now shut up and give him your lunch money.

Ag beat me to it. The WSJ is now owned by Rupert Murdoch and has about as much journalistic integrity as Faux News. Which means none.
