Labored logic
Democrats have been buzzing about comments made by state Sen. Nancy Schaefer (R-Turnerville) at a recent eggs-and-issues breakfast in Hart County. We quote from the Hartwell Sun newspaper: "Commenting on illegal immigration, Schaefer said 50 million abortions have been performed in this country, causing a shortage of cheap American labor. 'We could have used those people,' she said."
It has always amazed me that these folk made such a thing about abortion. There are no graveyards for stillbirths or miscarriges. There is no history of counting one's age from earlier than birth. And all early literature I have seen is more concerned with the life of the mother for what was iffy medicine.
It is only when women get to the technical capability of controling reproduction that suddenly several religions decide that such is a bad idea, but show little concern for life after birth, much less the majority of "unborn" as yet unconcieved.
For this I cannot believe that there is any actual concern, at least at the leadership level. What then would make them so vociferous?
The only possible explanation is the desire to have as many desperate people as possible to exploit. That is why the Repiblicans are so conflicted about immigration. If they actually stop it, a prime group of exploitable folk is lost, but if they bacame legal they wouldn't be so exploitable. So they come up with halfway measures that keep them exploitable, and perhaps create another exploitable stash of folk neither legal or "Guests".
Had link to article but lost it.
"There is no history of counting one's age from earlier than birth."
ReplyDeleteFive minutes of time surfing the Web would have shown you that the Chinese include the pre-born period in the age of their children. I find it interesting how you take two unrelated issues and combine them into an antirepublican diatribe.
It would appear that the Chinese were aware of the timing of conception and set ages by it. But as they considered it ok for abortion or even infanticide if the child was inconvient, that hardly is an argument for any premodern society confering humanity prior to birth, or in many cases a while after birth.
ReplyDeleteMy point that those who support forcing life ruining crisis on other people are looking to create more exploitable people stands. Like the Halloween documents it is not that the thought exists but that they admit it.
At least you posted my comment. Most people who moderate comments won't post anything that disagrees with their own point of view.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have honest discussion with differing points of view, not much point in a blog otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI would like to only have to block abusive comments or those who just hit without really discussing as I have most often found.
Have had useless discussions with Straussian folk who wish only to waste other peoples energy, and not a real discussion.
