Lazy Self-Indulgent Book Reviews

The graveyard of personal literary ambition.
There is only one of me, but I am Legion.

The Proposed Reforms To The “No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion” Thing

I do not care why you want an abortion. You want an abortion?  That’s good enough for me.

I am so happy to have my tax dollars pay for it.  I would rather help a struggling young woman pay for an abortion than a) more unnecessary construction near my house, b) more subsidies for the corn and soybean industry, c) more studies on whether this abstinence thing is going to kick in, or d) anything else, pretty much.

Because, besides the question of Being Good To Women At A Difficult Time, if you can’t afford to have an abortion, you can’t afford to have a baby.  

Even if you have a super shitty reason for your abortion?  Like, you have two girls and you really want a boy?

Why would anyone want that person to have a daughter?  Not me!  

I refuse to engage on the forcible versus non-forcible rape point, because now I think I live in Crazytown.   You don’t talk to people in Crazytown, you keep moving and ask for directions out.
