That belief makes abortion easy.
My biggest complaint about the Left is that they do not hold anyone accountable for their actions. They would totally do away with personal accountability. Self reliance is an unknown term to the democrats.
"Oh you're pregnant? No problem we can scrape that little bugger right out of there. Don't forget to vote for the Democrats."
"Oh you're too lazy to work? No problem, here is some money, some food stamps...we'll make those 'rich' folk take care of you. Remember to vote Democratic now."
Wow. Oh wow. Because, you know, Republicans don't *get* abortions. No Republicans LIKE abortions. Fuck, now that rich scion offspring are so marketable (hey, Hiltons!)...
I don't even know where to begin. I simply do not know where to begin. The left wants to deal away with personal accountability...maybe this is crass, but murderous as they might be, abortions are certainly a way of dealing with a problem one has created, right? I love definitions of "accountability." So a couple who uses all forms of birth control must be "accountable" because they had sex. So a couple who doesn't know about birth control is "accountable" because the religious atmosphere of their town prevents them from knowing about birth control?
Abortion as accountability. Punishment for having sex. "YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING." Well, maybe. "YOU UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES. YOUR CHOSEN METHOD OF SOLVING IS INVALID. YOU MUST SUFFER OR MY FURY SHALL NOT BE SALVED." But wait, who suffers? The woman. The guy can just skip.
Abortion as equivalent to welfare. Helping the poor is like killing unwanted babies! That's a slogan I'd love to see. Because remember, the poor are only poor because they're lazy, and the Democrats love laziness. Those people in Washington Park in Chicago? They're lazy. I never see them heading on the L to their unsatisfying jobs. No, they just want to live off the system and love Democrats. I remember reading an excellent article that showed how the "Welfare Queen" bogeyman never existed on the proposed scale.
Abortion as the Greatest Crime Ever Comitted. Why the fuck don't pro-lifers love gays? Gays don't have abortion. Barring STDs, gay sex doesn't have consequences, besides the usual psycho issues and those wonderful intestinal disorder statistics some Christian sites delight in delving into (tangent: did anybody see that wonderful Daily Show with Rob Cordry on the "Gay Philadelphia" marketing campaign? He talks to a guy from some Christian group who's absolutely *fixated* on that sort of thing. Provided he isn't joking. Which I doubt he is). How the fuck does that work into a secular calculus? It doesn't.
