Correction

Now that I think about it, the "kill their children" part probably refers to abortion. Because, you know, feminists really want to convince women in happy, financially secure families to abort perfectly healthy pregnancies. Because.. we hate children? Want to abolish the human race? There actually *are* people out there who favor the voluntary extinction of humans. I kind of see their point, but... yeah. Not down with that. Women abort pregnancies for several very good reasons: 1) They have already had all the children they want and cannot endure another pregnancy and birth while raising the existing family 2) They cannot provide for a(nother) child 3) The father is someone who should never be a father and probably the most common reason, 4) the pregnancy is too risky for the mother's health or the child has an incurable, severe, life-threatening condition.

You know, I find it not just misguided but cruel and disgusting that anyone would expect or require me to risk my life just because sperm met egg. If my doctor says it's too risky, that's it, I'm done with it. Sad, yes, but geez, come on. Likewise, if my doctor says I'm gestating a baby with no head, or some other horrible, no-chance-of-survival condition, it's over.

Given my line of work, which, at the moment is housing poor people, I think it the cruelest thing that the powers that be have convinced the impoverished that it's wrong to abort. Because they just.. have... the kids. They say they don't want any more, they can't afford them and don't have room for them in their current housing, but still, they have them. I can understand having one, or even two, if you really want them and have worked out a way to keep them fed and sheltered. But if you already have kids, and already live in Section 8 housing, another one may very well jeopardize what little you have. If having another child could make me homeless, I think I'd seriously consider other options.
