Not exactly.
It was the Republicans who initially pitched legal abortion, the culling of the unproductive and the breeding of superior humans in 1970.
When you've got a President who -- quoting from his Favorite Philosopher -- proceeds to distinguish between "potential people" and those embryos suitable for scientific research, it's not such a great leap to start pruning the other end of the spectrum with your "quality of life" shears.
That's the really crazy thing, Canadian Outrage. Most Americans don't know -- or, worse, just don't care to know -- the truth about Republicans as memorialized in the Congressional Record (GOP "Earth Resources & Task Force Report" of 1970) and documents such as NSSM-200 (by Kissinger in 1974).
They are the deathists who gave the Dems their talking points on "environmentalism," the "economic discrimination" of letting states outlaw abortion and the need for $3,800,000 1970 dollars to "educate" the public to birth control. They even discovered the "right" to predetermine the sex of one's children!
The truth is staring most folks in the face. If only they'd better placed their Faith, I'll bet they could handle it. Once you get over the initial shock and sickening realization that you and most of the folks you admired and loved have all been suckered your entire life, it's almost a relief.
Things finally make sense.
Republicans are responsible for Abortion?? Are you serious?
I have come to realize that Politicians, pretty much ALL politicians have their snouts in the public trough for themselves. And there appears to be becoming less and less difference between parties. I chose my own screen name because of the outrage at our political morass. Without God, how do people really cope? Truth is, a lot don't.
