How interesting it is for me to see and hear those people who are all too comfortable

with the statement, ‘Abortion is Murder’.

There should be no comfort with this stance.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, taking fifty years of precedent and throwing it out the window, ‘Abortion is Murder’ people get some comfort.

Never mind the millions of people affected. We’ve thrown out all the criteria for raising reasonable children into adulthood.

We’ve thrown out Doctors and Nurses, all medical people that are trained in multi disciplines re each and every patient. We’ve thrown out all need for deep thought about ‘the decision’ that agonizes over doing what’s best.

How perfectly wonderful that these zealots have insisted their religious beliefs come first, and those who disagree, be damned.

This arbitrary insistence that all situations demand the same result. Now the most obvious suggestion is women don’t have the knowledge,compassion or sense to make this decision. This based on a situation that they know better than any uninvolved person.

They know their own history , emotion, ability to love this child ,particularly if it’s

based on rape or incest. The Supreme Court knows nothing about these individuals, women, who are making this decision.

And furthermore they don’t care. They’ve been given their marching orders by far right “ Christianity “ and the Koch Bros and the Federalist Society and all those associated monetary ‘rulers’ (include the Catholic Church here. )

The Church who dares to speak to choices women might make, after the numbers of girls and boys who had no ‘choice’ in what was perpetrated on them,in their childhoods,

that follow them forever.

Have we learned nothing in the Human Sciences?

That in order to have the best chance at raising a child well, there are some fundamentals.

The wanted child , the cared for, the educated and socialized child . Are these children who exist only because the government is willing to murder their mothers,their mothers medical staff and anyone else who gets in the way ?

We pretend that financials don’t matter , emotional wellness doesn’t matter. Education doesn’t matter.

Emotional support to raise a child doesn’t matter.

Those are all lies.

Especially , since the same people pushing for always opposing abortion are the same “ Christians”

who do not believe in free lunches, support for poor children and any kind of ‘ social assistance programs ‘ .

The money goes to the wealthiest.

The poor deserve nothing .

The vote belongs to White ‘Christian’ men.

So that they can continue to pontificate about what ‘everyone should be doing’.

Have we ever considered this ‘pro life’ plan and the economy of same. Whose paying to lock up Drs and Medical staff, women who dared make a decision based on their cumulative knowledge as to whether or not they’re able to raise a child, medically , emotionally , financially.

It’s a much more complicated thought process done by the individual woman , than , “Abortion is Murder”.

And I think the need to control any process that a woman might approach is the end goal.

I think there is another fact about this that cannot go without mentioning .

Fully 74% of Americans are supporters of choice for women .

The Supreme Court ignored that fact.

As of today , the US is a Democratic Republic, the Majority still Rules or is still supposed to rule.

This is a decision based on a minorities efforts. How very entitled the Supreme Court and these White Christian zealots must be .

And they’ve been given reason to think so by the echoes of their own voices. It’s wrong.
