What kind of women do the Republicans want in this country, especially women who apparently choose to be born poor in a world that worships BIG money?
To begin with, they should be educated in an underfunded public school system that is forced to ignore facts and teach myth. The school should not be concerned with teaching critical thinking skills. They are to receive no factual and useful sex education. Modern Americans should be too shame-based to give women and girls accurate and correct information about their bodies and contraception.
They are to practice abstinence while steeped in a commercial and entertainment culture which worships at the feet of sexuality in appearance, body identity, a person’s value and most book and movie story lines. The other major entertainment offerings in our culture will frequently be a story line about violence, murder, gruesome death and all the worst human failings.
Then, if she should get pregnant, since she is now ignorant, unprepared, shame-based and living in a sex-enthralled culture, it is her fault. Nothing is ever said about the boys and men who are involved in this, too. The other half of this ‘human-making’ project are morally, and should be legally, responsible for the care, feeding and educating of this citizen they helped create for at least eighteen years.
Now the Republicans want to deny her medical care, prenatal care, nutritional assistance, and eventually welfare. All part of the safety net not generously provided for those entangled in the luxury of American poverty. She cannot have a choice in this matter. At this time in history –largely white, wealthy, middle-aged men are making her choices for her, and they are not interested in the needs of women in this culture. Moneyed interests have their souls and they did not get elected to serve their constituents or the people of this country. They stepped across the Potomac to line their pockets and display their ignorance, heartlessness and greed for all to see. The people dully elect them, they take an oath of loyalty to the Constitution, and proceed to do what corporations and big-donors to their campaigns desire. It appears from the outside that their primary goal is to reward the wealthy with more of everything and spend the rest of their time working on getting reelected so they can continue their primary goal.
So, if we examine the overall goal for women that the Republican Party confirms with so many bills and votes in the legislative houses across the country, what we see is a crime and a shame. The over-all kind of women the Republican party wants, based on their actions in government during the Obama presidency, is ignorant, nonvoting, unhealthy, poverty stricken, docile, pregnant second-class citizens, not in control of their own bodies and with little opportunity for the pursuit of their own happiness. Any woman who votes Republican in 2012 is damning herself and her sister citizens to more of this treatment now and in the future.
It's just my opinion.
