rb, my sole point of this diatribe is strictly hinged on the idea that someone posts, "But she want to charge for rapekits.. .raaaaape!!! someone was raaaaped! and she wants the victims to pay..."
I'm sorry that's shortsighted in my book to put an emotional charge towards something. I framed it as a troll because it's along the same lines, trying to get a response from someone. My response wasn't the exepected one, which was either, "OMFG! you're right what a cunt!" or "Yes, because everyone should have some morality shoved at them because abortion kills!!!!" No, again, my tack is much more practical than that.
I'm the same with the national security, not all that happy to pay for someone to say I can't have more than 3oz of liquid on my person in the airplane, that's just as fiscally stupid to me especially since we have pourous borders, but like you said, those are different stories.
And as an aside, or BoD we killed 1 shift of our day security in our $20M budget so that we can save $80,000. Even after an assualt (covered in the news) in our buildings. So when you want to talk about having to pick and choose which line items you have to get rid of, I'm ready with my pen to start crossing things off, some hard choices have to be made at some point in time.
