Because only deserving, financially stable babies should be fed, I guess.

@windinhishair And nothing exemplifies this more. You must have a child because your government says so. Because now in this society, a woman must be utterly infallible in her decisions of intimacy or she will pay a lifelong price.

No legislation's being discussed to compel men to support a newly born child. No legislation's being passed to ensure that child has the presence and efforts of two co-creating parents.

And once born? If you have the growing misfortune of being born to a woman who needs some support to raise the child she's been forced to bear, you get no food until the rest of the nation has eaten. Because we're "all about the children" here. The ones we like. The ones we want.

To stand for overturning Roe v. Wade but to stand against assisting with the outcome of your joint decisions is blatant and transparent ignorance and bias. There isn't another way to see this because it is what it is and it won't be made into a winding maze of state's rights, parties and empty rhetoric. A nation that won't even help its own is no good to anyone. And a nation of no use will inevitably decline and fall.

@Graylight You can tell the character of a nation by how it treats its poorest and neediest citizens. The US fails miserably on that account, and the Republicans boast about it.
