I am pro choice because I do not think it my right to interfere in someone else's reproduction choices.

Also, as a male, I can not get pregnant.

The one thing that always make me wonder about the so called "Right to Life" folks is where they get off legislating how other people choose to live their lives.

That and the shear hypocracy of the term "Right to Life"

It's not a right to life that they are fighting for, it's a right to BIRTH.

After that unwanted child is born, 99% of them will consider it mission accomplished and turn their backs on these kids. Well, I have a shock for them, a human being requires more than just a right to birth to become a productive and happy person.

Who is going to look after all these unwanted children in the USA?

Their parents? - maybe in the very odd case, but most probably aren't capable of raising a child, or have no desire to raise a child.

Adoption? - there won't be enough prospective adoptive parents out there. Hell, there are kids right now in the USA who are put up for adoption that don't find homes.

Who's going to pay for these unwanted children to have a life? Are the Right to Birthers going to step up to the plate and say, "I am willing to have my taxes increased to cover the costs of my actions here today?"

I doubt it.

The Right to Birth crowd tends to be conservative republicans and they think they pay too much tax now and there are all kinds of kids alive right now living below the poverty line, but the right to birthers don't give a rat's ass about that. The USA is already drowning in 8.5 trillion dollars of debt because conservative republicans don't think they should pay tax.

This legislation is so poorly thought out, it'd be a joke, but it' s not, it's real.

The USA grows more conservative with each passing week it would seem.
