Politics

A while back we considered some of the major costs abortion has caused our society and economy as a whole. While we may blanch at the statistics it isn't as though they were caused by some unforeseen and unrelated design. Rather, the realm of politics and the influence of money and power has so shaped our culture that many people tend not to see the future consequences of their actions.

Ours is a country of the here and now. If you are not at all convinced by this statement let me remind you in what a predicament your country is in. The U.S. economic bubble burst long ago and our economy is still feeling the aftershocks from an ever weakening market. We have spent more than we can afford and have left the debt bills to my generation and those generations soon to follow. I am not exceedingly bitter over the matter, but the fact is that nobody has looked out for the children of future generations. Rather they have spent all on themselves and invested in non-existent profits.

Now with that little sidetrack out of the way, here's the issue. As I've said before, these facts should not be wholly unexpected. And the facts are:

1. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the U.S. of A.
2. Tax payer money supports Planned Parenthood (willingly or otherwise).
3. Planned Parenthood possesses lobbyists, which are always ready at the doors of Washington D.C. to pass new bills and gain support for its cause.
4. Planned Parenthood is currently in high favor with many government officials.
5.

You'll notice I didn't write a fifth fact. The reason is because we first must answer a question that should immediately jump out at you upon reading the second and fourth facts. And that question is, "Why?" Why is an abortion provider recieving $360 million annually in government funds to fuel its butchering industry? Is it because most government officials in the House and Congress are pro-choice? Is it because they are sympathetic to women's monopolized health care providers? Is it because they simply want what's best for women?

I'm convinced many would say "yes" to all of the above. Besides, they might argue that there's nothing currently wrong with our monopolized health care providers. But there may be something more sinister, even more controversial than these issues.

5. "Both Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America are considered the most active lobbyists on the pro-choice side of the issue, as well as the most generous contributors to federal candidates, parties and committees."

Which federal candidates, parties, and committees you may ask? Liberal ones.

"Abortion-rights groups continue to give far more contributions and spend far more on lobbying than their anti-abortion opponents." This message was brought to you by your friendly inquisitor Open Secrets.

Now, I see no problem whatsoever in gaining governmental support for a controversial issue. However, there is no legitimate reason for having the government FUND an organization whether pro-life or pro-choice. That is to say, let pro-lifers pay out of their own pockets and pro-choicers out of theirs. The utter hypocrisy of Planned Parenthood in particular is that it recieves tax-payer dollars from pro-lifers and pro-choicers alike. THEN, they take some of that money and give it to their favorite liberal politicians, who out of the benevolence of their hears will strive to give pro-choice organizations "good deals" via legislation. Now with a pocket full of cash, the liberals can campaign once again for a seat in Congress.

Does Care Net perform the same atrocities? Not with pure donations it can't! In the political system (or any other system), Care Net doesn't steal from pro-choice activists through taxation or any other means. It is honest debating, not bribery.

This in large part is why some if not most liberal government officials support pro-choice organizations. And since they currently dominate Congress and the White House, it is no wonder that the pro-choice side is thriving in the midst of a recession. Read between the lines! Politicians do not habitually create charity funds to support other groups. Their first priority is their livelihood and sometimes popularity. If they have to circulate (steal) tax payer dollars to get ahead, some are willing to do it. The sad fact is, lives are lost simply because a House member thinks his butt would feel really good in a particular chair for another two years.
