Grifters, Tramps
and Thieves
Of
course, by "sluts
and tramps" I mean "the term
Republicans apply to women who need affordable
healthcare
and birth
control,
plus accurate
sexual
health information". I certainly don't
mean lobbyists for the beef, pharmaceutical,
and fossil fuel industries.
For those not in on the gag, the ultra-conservative
State lege of Texas is merrily shutting
down
women's clinics as fast as they can using
new laws that require clinics to
function as surgical hospitals. An
onerous requirement for facilities which
basically just needs to dispense Plan B
and X-ray
the occasional set of boobs.
I
have a therory about why conservatives despise
abortion and it has nothing to do with the
sanctity of life. Simply
put: babies are highly profitable. Consider
all the
commercial
goods, not to mention housing and schooling,
necessary to raise a child to adulthood and
it's easy
to see
that
a
drop in abortions means a healthier bottom
line.
Also important to them is that children further
marginalize
the poor, especially poor women. Because
when you're busy working two jobs to keep
the
kids fed and clothed you don't have much
time for politics.
