Reproductive Freedom: It’s Positively Unxenophobic!
By According to Georgia state senator, “Big employers may get the benefit of cheap labor, but the U.S. taxpayer will pay for their healthcare, food stamps, schooling for children, and income tax credits. I am convinced it is a consequence to the almost 50 million children we have put to death in their mother’s womb through abortion. The large unfilled job market in Georgia would not be a problem if the almost 50 million Americans were here filling many of those jobs.” But why stop there? Why, if we were to outlaw birth control, maybe we could prevent anyone from immigrating at all!
Hmm, that argument ads a nice racist element to perhaps the worst genre of anti-abortion arguments, the “would you have wanted to be aborted in the womb” argument. The problem with this argument, of course, is that to any non-crackpot it proves rather too much. In retrospect, I am indeed happy not to have been aborted; I’m also happy my parents were not using birth control the night I was conceived, that my mother didn’t get a tubal ligation, etc. etc.–I guess we really have no choice but to ban those things too! Always nice to get the Christian consevrative agenda out in the open…
