    Rights for preborn

    Okay, lets go all the way with that. We need to assure future housing, so let’s build homes and apartments instead of another office building or shopping mall. Also the preborn will need healthcare, so we’re going to have to funnel tax money into public Healthcare reform. Those preborn deserve great doctors when they join the world, after all. Now they’re going to need secure access to good food, clean water, and healthy air, so let’s start banning fossil fuels and switch to nuclear and renewable energy sources. Oh and someone make a note, the EPA needs to have the power to shut down business that pollute, no more of this namby-pamby “fines” junk, time for criminal charges and businesses going bye-bye. Gonna need to get rid of the crop-genetics monopolies too, we need healthy and numerous varieties of food from a diverse network of farms. Good first meeting, group! Next meeting bring one page of ideas for undoing the damage to the climate that’s already been done, and be ready for abolishing slavery worldwide once and for all.

      Hopefully I didn’t misunderstand the poster, cause it seemed like it was someone using the ‘unborn’ as a shill group again. But fight fire with fire, right?

    “People whose job is a popularity contest shocked that their unpopular actions put their job at risk”

    I just wish their actions actually caused their support to drop proportionally but they just keep gerrymandering harder and harder to prevent themselves from facing consequences
