Although they appear to be quiet at the moment...gathering their energies, resting their lungs for screaming...stocking up plenty of tears for piteous wailing...making their clever little signs and seeking gruesome photographs of fetus's...the Right To Lifers are a bizarre bunch.
They are so concerned for the well being of a mass of undifferentiated, and some differentiated, cells in a woman's uterus, that they utterly fail to do anything for the living children in this world.
Where are "the Right to life" cabal when sexual predator laws are being debated?
Where are they when low income housing is desperately needed?
Where are they when medical care for children is not affordable or available?
Where are they when schools stop offering programs to enhance learning in children?
Where are they when Bush cut funding to Head Start?
Where are they when Bush cut funding for education of all types?
Where are they when Bush domestic policies drove their parents into poverty?
Where where they when thousands of children were homeless and starving after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita?
Where are they when maternal, and paternal, leave is asked for by new parents, and are denied?
Where are they when single mothers desperately need child care so they can work?
Where are they when mothers, and fathers, need drug treatment and employment training so that they can adequately raise their children?
Where are they when parents need a job?
Where are they when Corporations cut wages, benefits, and hope for millions of American Children?
WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY WHEN THESE CHILDREN ARE SENT TO AN ILLEGAL WAR TO DIE OR BE HORRIBLY MAIMED?
The Right to Life movement consists of two type of people: Those who demand control and power and can only gain this by religious zealotry; and those who are so weak and pitifully overwhelmed by life that they cling to whatever religious fantasy that gives them a sense of belonging.
Where are they? Who really cares...as long as they stay gone.
