re: #50 dragonfire1981

Victimized by the GOP for life…

- Woman gets raped, law says she can’t have an abortion, gives birth to baby

- Sorry, Republicans have cut funding to social programs, mother cannot afford to feed baby or give it medical care.

- Mother gets stuck in halfway house or living in an alley, selling her body to make ends meet because there are no jobs available that will pay her a decent wage

- Mother contracts a treatable STD but later dies in a hospital ER because she could not afford or get access to adequate medical care.

- Child goes “into the system”, bounces from foster home to foster home.

- Child graduates high school and wants to go to college, child cannot afford college since all government grants have been eliminated

- Child takes a menial job at just above minimum wage, ends up stuck in similar jobs for years.

- Child develops an illness due to air pollution brought about by removal of clean air laws and is in and out of ERs.

- Child loses his job and cannot get private insurance because of his pre-existing condition

- GOP politician anxious to get elected holds child up as “an example of someone the Liberal system of government has failed.”

Pretty scary, isn’t it?

I think the modern GOP would view all of those as features and not bugs in the system. It’s all God’s Will and the free market (which increasingly are being interpreted as the same thing), so what’s the problem?
/(do I have to?)
