Some are going to say that I'm being ungrateful that there are Republicans out there who profess to be pro-choice but still fervently defend President Bush. So, let me say "Thank you" in advance and warn you that I think you're being hoodwinked if you think this President won't do whatever he can to make abortion illegal. He's controlled by a gang of right wing nuts who has made sure the next Supreme Court Justice is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade.
According to
What if Roe Fell, a study by the Center for Reproductive Rights, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, over 70,000,000 women in more than half the country would lose their abortion rights within a year, many immediately. This is chilling considering the absolutism of this current administration.
Pro-Choice Republican: Oxymorons with an emphasis on the "moron".
Therefore, you CAN'T be pro-choice and support this President. I hear people all the time say stuff like: "I'm pro-choice, but I want my tax cut". Well honey, if abortion becomes illegal, then the unwanted child population will skyrocket, welfare costs will skyrocket, indigent health care will skyrocket, and overpopulation will create more people competing for fewer jobs. This kind of caos will also result in more homelessness, more crime, and more internal hostilities. And that results in MORE, not less taxes.
But, throughout history (how do you spell NAZIS), war-mongering governments tend to outlaw abortion so that more poor people can be born to go into the military. Sound familiar?
And let me make this crystal clear. These right wing crazies in government aren't just interested in overturning abortion rights. They also have contraception on their radar screen. They want every act of copulation that results in a pregnancy to result in a child.
So, if you're pro-choice and that's important for you, being a Republican is an exercise in futility with this dogmatic administration.
