Doc, since when is taking the position that the coercive power of the state should not be used to compel women to give birth against their will equivalent to genocide? Is the number of black or Hispanic folks in the US decreasing? Are black and Hispanic women having fewer children than white women?

Dude,

It sort of seems like you just want to argue with someone and that your heart really isnt into this if the above sentence is really one your take aways. Nobody is forcing anyone to terminate a pregnancy and nobody even attempted to equate race with humanity. You are trying too hard to feign offense on this one, it’s falling sort of flat...

Also, calling the choice that some women make to use safe, sanitary publicly funded programs to end a pregnancy, "genocide", is very ldsfapsish. It sort of showed your hand from the get go and you are not going to be able to successfully troll that way. Ease into man...

Excellent point. Take away the health care for all those aborting mothers and let the newborn babes shift for themselves.

Let's see those surviving kids try to get obese once we take those so-called "food programs" such as food stamps and school lunches away from them. Those who do survive on the mean streets will have the right stuff necessary for the Marine Corp or Walmart.

Bumping for Majax ...

Well yes, fairly obviously.

Walmart can hardly pretend that the money they pay to their lower-paid full-time employees is enough for them to live on in a manner that counts as minimally decent for hard-working people in 21st century America. And Walmart knows that this basic standard is an absolute necessity if their employees are to remain capable of turning up every day and putting in a good day's work.

So they know what their employees need in order to live as human beings and work as hard as Walmart needs. But they don't pay that. Why?

Because they know darn well that Majax's tax dollars will bridge the gap for them through programmes like SNAP. So they can get away with paying less!

Smart business move for Walmart. Not so good for Majax and the other taxpayers.

How do you feel about that, Majax? What needs to be done in this specific case?

Raise the minimum wage?

One factor here promoting this disparity is that black and Hispanic women have more unintended pregnancies than white women, statistically. And over half of unintended pregnancies result from participants not using contraceptives.

When it comes down to comparing the ideologies of conservatives and liberals, one side seems historically much more willing to make contraceptive choices easier to consider and obtain than the other.
