Madam Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has thrown down the gauntlet with her comment that contraception (aka abortion) will “stimulate” the US economy because it will have local, state, and federal governments paying less over the long haul to support those on welfare. This is social and human engineering. Did I not read somewhere or hear her say herself, that she is a Catholic? I wonder what Pope Benedict would think of her membership in the Catholic church? Would he excommunicate her for such beliefs?
Let’s do the math – Assuming the federal government increases its funding of abortions (the Dems call it contraception – I call it Socialistic State-Sponsored Abortion), we could take 1,000,000 abortions (which number is extremely conservative) at a rate of $1,000/abortion cost; this would equate to $1 billion in federal/state funding for those who can’t seem to keep their pants up and continue to cost the country for their stupidity. It does not matter the economic class of the persons benefitting from this process. By Pelosi’s math, were these pregnancies to be permitted to come to term, and these same slouchers bring up their children on the welfare dole, keeping in mind that it costs well over $100,000 to raise a child to the age of 18, she thinks we would be saving more than $100 billion to raise those 1 million welfare babies. However, that’s spread out over 18 years and, as a consequence, saves this country only somewhere around $111 million. If , on the other hand, each and every one of those babies were brought to term and adopted (or better yet, brought up by parents who understand that living off the public dole only keeps them “down” so getting a job and making a living wage is a much better option, not only for the parent but for the child(ren) as well), our country would save that $111 million for each of those years, in addition to the $1.8 trillion spent on paying for the abortions ($200,111,111,112 annual savings). Which is the better deal? Which would better stimulate the US economy – abortion or responsible parenting? Bottom line, keep your pants zipped unless you can afford to bring up a child for 18 years (or longer).
What this boils down to is social engineering and eugenics. You remember eugenics from high school, don’t you? It is the process of deciding who is worthy of remaining alive based on a false presumption by a governmental body of who can benefit the collective more over the long term. Obviously, Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Obama both agree that those in the poorer communities of our country are not really worth saving; that they are not really worth trying to assist by helping them learn how to help themselves; by handing them another ready-made opportunity to keep them downtrodden and lying about it by calling economic stimulus. I don’t think that this stimulates anything in me except anger.
Now, I’m not one who will be protesting in front of an abortion clinic anytime soon. But, for me, abortion is not, nor has it ever been, an option. I believe that each person has to weigh her options and decide for herself what she is willing to live with for the rest of her life – it is something that she needs to reconcile with Almighty God. However, I do not, nor have I ever, suggest to anyone that abortion will be the answer to all her ills and do not recommend it to anyone. I do not believe that it should be a federal right because it is not identified as such within the context of the US Constitution. In fact, the Constitution does not reference anything about it at all. The Declaration of Independence provides us the passage of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Therefore, it is a States’ Right as to whether or not a state should allow abortion as part of its services, or permit such to be undertaken as a private measure within each state’s borders. It was liberal justices who allowed Roe v Wade to become the law of the land and it should be a measure that the SCOTUS should be ashamed of because they legislated from the bench rather than interpreting the Constitution as it was written by inserting their own beliefs into their decision.
Given the new trifecta of Democrat control (yes, “Democrat”, not “Democratic”), it is imperative for those of us who espouse conservative viewpoints to be extremely vocal, extremely strong in our standing, and inflexible to the point of breaking. By being such strong individuals, we’ll become the Republicans our founding fathers wanted us to be. We cannot permit the social engineering of SOCIALIST/MARXIST Obama and his cronies. We cannot permit the human rights violations that would proliferate under his rule. To decide that abortion would be stimulus for our economy is something from the Dark Ages and should not be permitted to flourish. Stamp out the idiocy of this new regime and run for office against it in 2010 at all levels.
