Hey, speaking of the March for Womens' Lives...
You wanna know what really pisses me off about the "right-to-lifers"? A whole lot of 'em don't actually seem to give a damn about the lives of the women they seek to deny abortions. These same politicians/pundits/Bushies/whathaveyou are the first to oppose sex education, welfare, childcare options, pre-natal/post-natal time off work/school so that Mom can actually take care of her un-aborted child without her life falling apart.
Furthermore, the number of un-adopted kids is staggering, and these same blowhards insist that adoption is the only way to go, and simaltaneously campaign against allowing gays and lesbian couples (who WANT to adopt) the right to do so.
In other words, they are only "Pro-Life" until the cell-matter or fetus is born, at which point the lives of both mother and child go back to whichever shat-upon social standing from whence they came--and boy, isn't that sickening. That's why I am in favor of protecting a woman's right to choose--it's like, don't even talk to me about this until you've addressed the systemic problems first.
