    Given she's likely referring to GOP lawmakers, the exact opposite is the case. Unless you're a millionaire or higher.

    I thought we'd already established the fact that ZERO federal funds go toward abortions. HOWEVER, even if they were, isn't $500 better than several hundred thousand dollars over the course of 18 years? and don't give me any shit about she shouldn't have had sex in the first place.

    I was actually thinking of child support.

    If a man wants to cry about the cost of abortion, he shouldn't have left it up to his partner to supply the contraceptive aspect.

    So, allowing the woman the choice of abortion works FOR you.

    That's a lot harder than you think. If a man is such a loser that he won't take responsibility and step up, he damn sure isn't going to voluntarily pay child support. Hell, I've known men who have quit their jobs just so they don't have to pay child support.

    I've been re-watching Spitting Image eps from the original series (puppet satire show from the UK, recently revived but initially ran 1984-1996) lately. Coverage of the BP privatisation (yes, BP was once nationally owned by the UK) is depressing - lots of jokes about the failure of the sell-off to meet expectations and a share being worth "only another share. Yet despite record profits this year, we had our government (until it became clear they were at the point of the guillotine) saying a windfall tax on BP to offset the MASSIVE increase in household energy bills would lead to lack of investment.

    oh, wait. Were you thinking the droopy ass balls aren't going to create a baby - therefore, no need for child support?

    Wasn’t in a box, or those specific items, but back in the 80s when my older son was born, I was sent home with a bunch of stuff also.

    Funny, when my third nephew was born two years ago, all my sister got from the hospital was a card that read "Good luck!" and the bill itemized it for $95.

    (Not true, but given the state of our healthcare, it wouldn't surprise me :brood:)

    It wouldn't surprise me either. Heck, even in 2004, I was sent home with a bunch of formula if nothing else.

    Guys, I think FF has been kidnapped by the NRA. He seems to completely fall for the most ridiculous asinine shit they put out.

    Righties love to co-opt Jefferson with one breath, then they try to delete him from textbooks when they find out he was a Deist who hated organized Christianity.
    They just can't seem to make up their mind on him.

    For people who start from the ground up without wealth or wealthy families, this is not always true. There is certainly a point in many start ups where owners forgo pay, and they get help from family and others below a livable wage. This does not apply to Walmarts.

    Of course, if you spend forever in the area where you cannot pay a living wage then you should probably get out. However, some money is often better than no job which is why you will easily find people so desperate to work that they will.

    If you really want the poor to have the ability to say no to work where they are underpaid and not appreciated you make sure they have the basics to survive. But we do not want to talk about government providing food, shelter, medicine, electricity, and things like that because socialism makes the Rapist party cry.

    How about we all just submit for mental health screenings, and lock up anyone with proven violent tendencies?
