Every Sperm Is Sanctimonious
So the Missouri House decided yesterday that the poor aren't in the position to fuck, but rather, to get fucked. They emphasized this by voting not to resume birth control in community clinics.
The House voted 96-59 to delete the funding for contraception and infertility treatments after Rep. Susan Phillips told lawmakers that anti-abortion groups such as Missouri Right to Life were opposed to the spending.
"If you hand out contraception to single women, we're saying promiscuity is OK as a state, and I am not in support of that," Phillips, R-Kansas City, said in an interview.
This movement's not about life. It was rarely, if ever, about life. It's about control. It's about saying to people, "What you do is wrong, and you must be punished." It's about ripping the roof off of people's houses, staring right down into their bedrooms, then saying, "Oh, don't mind me."
And once again, the poor suffer. Some people can't afford birth control pills, and they are the ones who are directly affected by this. Birth control has been denied to those who are least likely to have the resources to raise a child should something go wrong. The purpose, she is defeated.
To the "pro-life" people, life is not precious. It's a burden to be granted to those filthy, filthy sluts who spread their legs too much. If only they'd come out and say it.
