The Bush Bunch

The Bush bunch.
They are against abortion!
As if any thinking person would be in favor of it.
They don’t mention the girl who has been raped by her father and what she may decide or need to do. Incest is illegal in this land. They are only concerned with the law when caught breaking it.
They don’t talk about the fetus developing with a brain outside of the skull, or lungs outside of the body and skip the heart stilled in the womb. Or will they have the mother die?
They don’t talk about pollution that causes birth defects. That would annoy their corporate sponsors.
They don’t talk about endemic poverty – that would violate their bizarre assertion that states only heathens help others.
They talk about Iraq.
How will this end?
Will this society that has asserted a home is a castle, did not allow government interference in family affairs, proclaimed the right of the individual to regulate personal habits and rear children in accordance with conscience and of love, now become subject to a heretical tyranny which interferes in the smallest concerns of life from birth to death? Will we endure hypocritical despotism the likes of which have provoked rebellion in earlier times?
We’ll eventually knock them out. Freedom to live one’s own life, limited only by not hurting the rights of others, will again be held important.
Liberty will prevail in the United States but will Bush have destroyed our national government?
Iraq is an empty prize.
