   The idea that conservatives don’t help after you’re “forced to be born” isn’t remotely true. There are tons and tons of women centers and churches that have programs that help women who decide to have children. My sister volunteered for one several times.

   And if a woman doesn’t want to be “forced” to have a child, why not stop fucking? Also, the Dobbs decision was because Mississippi wanted at limit at 15 weeks. That’s higher that nearly every EU country (which tend to limit abortions to 8~12 weeks).

   Now to be fair, I’m not against eugenics and baby killing. If you want to kill your baby because you don’t want it, have at it. But I hate it when people dress it up as “women’s health” or “forced to have a baby.”

   As far as the debt ceiling, I didn’t look at the details. But most spending on programs to help often don’t. De-funding federal student loans means Universities would have to offer competitive rates and can’t milk students for useless educations. Spending money on low incoming housing is usually funding garbage housing. I dunno … I don’t care so long as they just cut a trillion of something. It can be Social Security and Medicare for all I care. All of it will be insolvent when I’m 60 anyway.

     @icedquinn @djsumdog Conservatives, or Republicans? They’re not the same thing, the #GOP has cast conservatism to the side long ago

     @djsumdog i find the current crop of conservatives deeply untenable. they're off trying to block uncontrolled spending not to balance a budget, but to dig their heels in and make food stamps suck. or whining about wanting to defund the post office (but never raytheon, nor lockheed, who can't make a plane that go fly but somehow never gets fired.)
     
     especially the idea someone should be forced to be born, but that's the extent of it. you are required to be born, and then ground up as a wagie tax cattle because :blobcatdunno: sorry as soon as you're out the vagina you don't matter anymore. get a job lmao.

     His point was that they want to tear down those who have achieved and done things. As far as having a heart, I go by the quote often attributed to (but predates) Winston Churchill:
     
     "If someone is young and not progressive he has no heart, and if he's old and not conservative, he has no brain"
