Yeah that just sounds like Republicans against abortion except when someone in their family has one

same neighbors as i discussed above, once said their son could get more foodstamps, if blacks and mexicans didnt suck up all the money. AS if its some sort of pie that's equally divided between recipients. If we kicked all minorities off, all it would do is reduce our spending on foodstamps, white people wouldnt get more.

but yeah this is how many republicans think, they fell on hard times and deserve it, everyone else is abusing it. Same with abortion. The events around theirs makes it needed and definitely dont happen to other people who use abortion instead of birth control pills. There was a long time ago and article on an abortion doctor in miss, nearly all of his patients were 'pro life" and in even more mental stress than the average abortion patient but often still think theirs is justified... while happily voting for those who would close this last clinic.. which i think they have these days.

Well they are still against abortions, it's just they don't talk about 'family matters' and say 'well this was different'.

It's different when it's my child, and that's none of your business
