Pound Pup Legacy

I found yet another blog that made me think:  "Here's a person I'd like to meet at a pub and share a thought with a few drinks..."

Adoption/Abortion Same Diff

I fucking hate Middle America.

I guess I am prejudiced. I hate ignorance, stupidity, and how the drip from the roof of the metro car always seems to land precariously near my nipple. The Post had an article that dealt with abortion. Now, I’m not getting into that argument - for or against. I just want to comment on a line from the article:

Missouri, for example, has set aside $1 million to encourage low-income pregnant women to carry a pregnancy to full term and potentially give the infant up for adoption.

Slip-slap. Slip-slap. Excuse me while I join Missouri’s upper class elite by wiping my hands clean and solving yet another vexing problem with today’s youth and poor (one in the same of course). Nothing works like throwing money at a problem, especially a social problem, and especially when it is very little money (comparatively speaking). I’m sure this “new” program that is all Jesus-fied and religiously approved will work as much as the “Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder” posters and talks from Sex-Ed teachers saying, “Sex=pregnancy and disease.”

If you don’t believe in abortion, fine. Don’t have one. But don’t think that by providing counseling and money to help kids and low-income women give their children up for adoption you are really solving anything.

Let’s try realizing that people have sex often, sometimes with multiple partners, and sometimes not with protection. But if we realize that then…well, God wouldn’t love you anymore. God hates people who have sex. It says so right in the bible.

Being the kurious kerry that I am, I went to read the Post article mentioned, and what did my eyes see?  The following sentence that speaks volumes of profound absurdity:  "Three states have passed bills requiring that women seeking an abortion be warned that the fetus will feel pain,"

Newsflash folks, I ain't no fetus, but as an adoptee, lemme tell you, after-birth pains for the child sold to the highest or most eager bidder last a lifetime.

In terms of abortion v. adoption... time and pain become in a very sick sense, relative.
