The jobs created won't be in back alleys. They will be in prisons or in sweat shops where those who lost control of their lives and their children often end up.

It is all about profit on things Americans refuse to discuss. There has always been great profit in denying civil and human rights. Best examples are the institution of slavery and the long history of migrant workers exploited for the profit of... the landowners. This has never changed, and is bigger than abortion.

In enlightened countries, there is a lower rate of abortion, even though it is legal and protected by law, because they have national health care.

We would likewise have a lower rate without all of these sadistic measures being imposed, if we valued the fathers, mother and the children of this country. It really is a matter of believing in the equality of all, which many in this country don't, or we wouldn't have this.

Equality is not good for the profit system. True, you can support people or profit in balance as long as there is a system to keep it in balance.

It's not, we can't expect improvements as we gallop to fascism using unbalanced theology, and refusing to vote these guys out of majorities across the USA. Their religion has proven to be an excellent organizing tool for our plentiful supply of hateful fools.
