Too bad. All this “save the children” mumbo-jumbo is just a cover to get money from the working class then hand it over to the lazy. If the parents cant afford the kid they should abort or put up for adoption.

Stop making problems of the low-lifes everyone elses problems.

hey cynthia…sperm + egg = human baby…not a fetus. several hundred years ago african amercians were deemed to be on 3/5ths of a person and that after a lot of struggle and bloodshed are now recognized as full members of society. now, imagaine how all of the murdered babies feel knowing they were called a fetus and not a real person, and that someone like cynthia, whose ancestors were not considered to be a 100% person, and should know better, does not rise up and use her eloquence to defend the most helpless members of our society.

There is a real discussion to be had about insuring children and the costs and tradeoffs of doing so. It’s just that Cynthia Starts by taking about the Obamacare bill that was amended to preserve a long standing prohibition against using federal funds for abortions. Nothing pisses Cynthia off like protecting the unborn. If this is all about CHP then Cynthia needs to leave out the swipe.

Pre-babies? That language is dishonest and offensive. The “fetuses” are already human beings if you have actual proof that the unborn are not people you need to present it, because science does not suuport your assertion.
The fetus is not a template in which the baby is inserted upon exiting the woman. It is a living human being and your desire to kill people just because their existance is troublesome to you is sad indeed.
Nobody who is pro-aboriton can ever feign that they care about another human being. It is a lie, pro-abortionists cannot care for someone beyond their selfishness. Even Jane Row, (Norma McCorvey) is pro-life. Ironically, she has never had an abortion and is of the biggest pro-life advocates out there. That should be telling enough right there. The person on which Row v. Wade was founded is pro-life, or vehemently anti-abortion.
Abortion is murder, nobody can prove that it is not, period.

Oh, almost forgot – Hey Sinthia – if you’re that bleeding heart over the children and the poor and the stupid and all of that, why are you still writing a column and not out with your sleeves rolled up helping them 24/7? Talk is cheap as you prove with each of your columns… but then is it more of a case of those who can do… those who can’t just try to write about it… badly?

For the longest time I was allowing all this socialist demoncrap push through-on ObamaCare really get my blood pressure up. Dueling plans and amendments with politicians wasting precious time on an issue that is so far down the food chain of priorities as to be laughable, if it wasn’t really happening…

Then I went back and studied the history again of the New Deal… so many of Roosevelt’s alphabet soup agencies, policies and laws got knocked down at the Supreme Court that it caused FDR to want to stack the Supreme Court with more Democrat justices who would hopefully vote the party line and allow everything through. It didn’t happen. All he managed to do was to start handing Congress back to the Republicans and cause the 1937 recession…

So let ObamaCare become law… who gives a rat’s patootie?

It’s all going to end up in court (Cap and Trade too) and ultimately at the Supreme Court and then the justices will be able to school PBO on something he forgot all about… the Constitution of the United States…

“Reason and Ignorance, the opposites of each other, influence the great bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of Government goes easily on. Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.” Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man, Part One, 1791.

You mock those who would protect these defenseless children.

What Cynhtia is talking about, and you know it full well, is that right-to-lifer Republicans want to make sure children are born but beyond that they don’t want to help with health care, education or even nutrition at school. Remember when Reagan’s administration declared pickle relish a vegetable?

If you can’t afford to raise a child, the answer is simple. Don’t have it.

Joan, I gather your parents were well off enough to afford you but what about the children who are born into life but are unwanted? My brother and his wife couldn’t have children but they have two wonderful daughters they adopted when the children were infants. Those girls grew up with loving parents who adored them and still do. It is not as simple as you make it sound, nor should it be. Many good people, who weren’t wanted by their birth parents, have come into this world and have contributed.
