4. The fundies, like poisonous snakes, were just waiting for new
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 10:00 PM by Warpy
USSC judges to be seated to strike. They've dreamed about doing this for decades.

What they haven't done is think it through. For instance, think of the expense to corporations when more of their female workforce, those cheaper pars of hands, are out on maternity leave. Think about all those unwanted babies needing to be fed, clothed, immunized, housed, and educated. The cost of keeping a kid in an orphanage was $50,000/year back in the heady days of the Contract On America when they first proposed snatching children away from mothers on welfare and raising them in orphanages away from the pernicious influence of their mothers. We all know that after the first year the supply will vastly outstrip the demand for even squeaky clean white infants. They haven't considered the additional burden on a broken healthcare system of increased birth and birth complications and increased numbers of butchered women from illegal abortion.

They, especially the Democrats who are enabling them, haven't thought through to the backlash from women and from prochoice men, especially men who now find themselves stuck with 18 years of child support payments because the girlfriend couldn't get the abortion they both wanted.

This is quickly going to become the same disaster it was in pre-Roe days. This time there will be an obvious target for rage, and if the Democrats don't stop pushing antichoice and antiwoman candidates, they're going to get caught in the crossfire.
