Why does Congress want us to produce more unwanted children?

[Deja Q]

1. If they're offshoring jobs, why can't they offshore the cannon fodder positions too?

I mean, the republicans must be in a real tizzy right now...

[MNDemNY]

2. It's only the biggest, strongest stalking horse ever known.

It makes a lot of noise as it crashes through the woods!

[Hello_Kitty]

3. I recced to cancel out the unrec.

This poll is made of win! :thumbsup:

[Warpy]

4. They don't give a shit about any child who is born

They only care about punishing sexually active women with the forced and unwanted presence of the unborn.

5. when you have mouths to feed you will be more likely to keep your head down

and your mouth shut. that is why.

6. Who is hatin' on this poll?

I think it is legitimate. Why the unrecommend? The only thing the OP forgot was adding having enough 2 year olds for 23 year old boyfriends to beat to death. Seems like we have a surge every summer of young men on trial for killing their girlfriends crying baby while she is at work.

That's not always true. I take some of it back. The Idaho Statesman had a story Tuesday where the boyfriend only admitted to breaking the little girl's arm and burning her toe 15 times with a cigarette.

That's why we need unwanted children.


And they aren't always two year olds. We had an 8 year old boy fished out of the Boise Canal after he was beaten and abused to death by his step-dad, this summer.

7. Unwanted and/or more children than one can support oppress women and poor folk.

The last two voting groups they want to see empowered.

[Hello_Kitty]

8. Yep. eom

[anonymous171]

9. To get more votes from their fundie base. They don't care about children.

If they become criminals, the RW will just lock them up. If they starve to death, so be it. Your accusations are all false. The RW does not care happens to the children. They don't care about women. They don't about soldiers. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY AND POWER.

[rucky]

10. This poll is one arrow short of a quiver.

:bounce:

[Sinti]

11. More soldiers is the only logical thing I can think of

They need more soldiers to pacify the world to god's plan - in the name of Supply Side Jesus. I thought the biblical Jesus said Peace on Earth = Goodwill Toward Men.

[librechik]

12. they just want to make sure women have no power over their own bodies

because secretly wimmens are zombies and want to eat testosterone soaked brains. Wimmen is hungry and unstoppable, i tells ya! Don't give em an inch! They'll be abortin' ever month!

[me b zola]

13. Other:

More poor people = more cheap labor.

[ThomCat]

14. They want to punish sexually active women

and "keep them in their place.


All those other things are bonuses they deliberately give themselves, just because they can. But they are still secondary to keeping women down.

[lyonn]

15. They have a fetus fettish

Babies they are not concerned about. Don't they realize those babies may end up in the emergency room and cost unnecessary expenses to those that pay for health insurance. Actually it will not affect those at the top. It makes no sense.

We do know the answer, votes from the rightous right.

16. the pyramid scheme of capitalism

requires more slaves at the bottom to keep consuming

[The2ndWheel]

17. The state needs more people to survive and grow?

It's not as if the state doesn't require growth. It's no different than a corporation.

[laughingliberal]

18. Overpopulation leads to cheap labor. nt

[femrap]

19. I voted

cannon fodder, but men (and the accustomed of course not all men) like having power and control over women. And if they can control women's bodies, that makes them feel good. By controlling their bodies, they can impose Compulsory Motherhood...ie change their destinies and keep them from that almighty 'pursuit of happiness.' Then the boys have no competition out in the world...you know, like the way it should be. Cuz if a woman can do a job as well (or Goddess forbid) better than a man, well....viagra won't even work.

This is what patriarchy is all about.

I hope the young women around here are ready for a fight on abortion.

[pleah]

20. Cannon fodder and slave labor. n/t

[Alameda]

21. That sums it up...and don't forget consumers!

[Samantha]

22. Pat Buchanan let the cat out of the bag on this one

A few years ago, I was appalled to hear him say that if the United States did not outlaw abortions, by year ----, the Muslim population would outnumber us. We could never continue our war against the Muslim extremists because we would not have the manpower to do so.

[Nederland]

23. Why do liberals want to kill more babies?

Just to be clear, I think that question is just as stupid as this one.

[notesdev]

24. Keeps people poor and dependent nt

[TheKentuckian]

25. Other: They are greedy fucking pigs at the trough and need more consumers

always.

I don't see the traditional need for cannon fodder on a massive scale and certainly don't buy that they give a squirty crap about anybody fetuses included, so it seems most likely the usual moneychanging which is good with people to buy stuff or failing that prop up the prison industry and of course, the epic money pit known as the war on drugs.

26. missed the most likely one, food for the lizard visitors in the ships over our cities,
