The GOP only gives a shit about life when it's in the womb


Republicans = Nazis

About damn time

Files this under better late than never....

Turns out that thirty-plus years of conservative dogma (see also the Reagan Devolution) for our economy hasn't had such a great outcome--feeding the rich while starving the poor has only led to the United States falling farther and farther behind other industrialized countries in infant mortality rates, people incarcerated, life expectancy for women, children in poverty, and teenage pregnancies.  Even worse, the social safety net that republicans spend so much time bitching about isn't all that safe--it's got gaping holes in it that far too many Americans in need are falling through.

And while we're beating a very dead horse, for all the right's claims to concern for the unborn and flogging of European socialism, it sure is funny how Europe absolutely cleans our clocks on infant mortality rates.  Who'd have guessed that, unlike our republican party and its minions, those socialists actually give a shit about children?

And therein lies the legacy of the modern republican party:  all talk and plenty of failed action for ordinary Americans.

You're on your own, kid!

A new report issued today by Save the Children showed that the U.S. is number one--that's right, numero uno--in yet another category no civilized nation wants to be number one in:  we lead the industrialized nations of the the world in first day infant deaths with 11,300 per year.  In fact, that total is 50% more than all the other industrialized nations combined.

You might think I found that stat on some conservative pro-life site and that with their staunchly pro-life views they would be screaming for better healthcare for mothers and their babies.

You'd be wrong--mostly because pro-lifers really aren't pro-life.

They're pro-birth. 

Once your tiny fanny pops out of the womb, they couldn't give a fuck less if you live or die.

Unless, of course, your mother and father are wealthy....
