I'd rather know some of my tax money go to an abortion.
If you'd like to volunteer your tax dollars in that direction, go right ahead, but I sincerely hope you're practicing such a murderous mindset in another country.
Yes - murder.
The United States of America was founded on inalienable rights, including the right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion deprives the very much
alive, unborn, DNA-unique child of his
life as well as his freedom to pursue his own happiness.
The child is not it's mother's body, any more than it's his father's body. It shares its DNA with each parent, half from the mother and half from the father. It relies on its mother for sustenance, both during the first nine months of its
life while in the womb, as well as for the first couple of years of its
life thereafter.
I could care less how clever you and others are in drawing the veil over this murderous act, up to and including what liberal legislators and the courts have done to redefine murder. That doesn't change the fact that it's murder. A child is alive at conception. It's innocent. Abortion takes an innocent life. That's murder.
Furthermore, your flippant comments about spending my tax dollars in support of such heinous acts are grossly disrespectful of my Constitutional rights. Requiring my tax dollars be spent on something diametrically opposed to my faith in both God and Country is a gross violation of my First Amendment rights, which state: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Part of my free exercise of my religion is spending my money where I believe it would do the most good, as well as refraining from spending it on activities which are morally objectionable to my faith.
...than a charity child goes to the orphanage, which may or may not be a retard FAS or crack baby.
Now you're talking euthanasia, which is also murder. You're saying "It's IQ is lower than normal, so let's put it out of its misery, lest it suffer." To be frank, "put it out of its misery" is another veiled (deceptive) phrase used to diminish what's really happening, which is the taking of an innocent life, and that is MURDER.
I work in healthcare, I used to work in mental health...
Such claim is a logical fallacy, specifically, an
Appeal to Misguided Authority. It's also known as Appeal to Authority, Argument from Authority, Argumentum ad Verecundiam, and Ipse Dixit.
Regardless, when it comes to abortion, we refer to the healthcare/psychological industry as "the abortion lobotomy mill." Some call it "the genocide lobotomy mill," as abortion of one's own people is genocide: "From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions have occurred in the U.S. (AGI)." -
Source Make that "widespread" genocide. And, gee! Just think: Stalin killed "just"
20 Million people during his reign of terror. You and others like you are responsible for 2-1/2 times as many murders! Are you proud of yourself? Or merely calloused for having cheated so many young children out of their lives?
...I've seen the FAS and crack children, quite honestly I wish the parents would have aborted instead of bringing a life in to the world which only suffers because they felt the need to continue the life. Some people drink not knowing they're pregnant, hell some people don't even realize until the second trimester, it's not irresponsible to terminate a pregnancy, especially if it's a ****** up fetus.
You're underscoring the absolute necessity of keeping illegal drugs illegal, getting people off illegal drugs, and using sane solutions in our legal system such as
Drug Courts, which are the most effective justice intervention for treating drug-addicted people. Drug Courts reduce drug use. Drug Courts reduce crime. Drug Courts save money. Drug Courts restore
lives. Drug Courts save children and reunite families.
Oh, and of ensuring young women don't get pregnant unless they really want to become pregnant. Contraceptives are very inexpensive. Making them freely available is a far better course of action than murdering the babies resulting from irresponsible sex. If you want to throw your money at the problem, this is a far better target than funding abortion mills. In face, such mills aren't even a target. They're not even on the range.
I also fully support genetic testing, as we need to stop bringing life in to this world which pollutes the gene pool with things like sickle cell anemia and other genetic horrors.
My goodness! You sound like Machiavelli, reincarnated. Do you have any idea how arrogant and elitist your point of view is? Who's to decide who lives and dies in your elitist world? Tell you what - let's shoot everyone who supports measures of murderous genocide such as abortion? How does that strike you as a reasonable proposal for helping eliminate these undesirables from our society? Oh, and, of course, everyone with an IQ in the bottom third, everyone predisposed to an incurable illness (wouldn't want them polluting the gene pool!), everyone your mental "health" people deem as undesirable, angry, upset, unclear thinking...
Well, there you go. In your elitist world, you'd be guilty of that last one, so you'd be on your own hit list. How do you like them apples? Oh, but wait! The rulers, such as yourself, would, *of course,* be exempt!
Since that's insanely hypocritical, how's this for an idea: Behave responsibly. If you don't want to get pregnant, don't have unprotected sex. If you find yourself pregnant, there are MANY couples who would love to adopt! Whatever you don't, don't be irresponsible and suddenly "find" yourself in the situation where you're saying, "Oh, crap - I'm pregnant. Guess I'll just have to kill my baby."
