On babies as punishment
Advertisements [?]
In the eyes of a socially conservative government that would put restrictions on a woman's reproductive rights, babies ARE treated as punishment. A punishment for not keeping her legs closed. A punishment for not waiting until she were married in the eyes of God. A punishment for acting against "God's Will." Oh they don't say the word "punishment." They use softer words and euphemisms like "responsibility," but it all boils down to the same thing and anyone who is truly pro-choice knows it because we've been fighting this mindset for years. It's only NOW, that a Clinton advocate sees a chance to take a cheap political potshot at her fellow Democrat, that we see liberals having a problem with this sort of phraseology.

And I have to say, anyone who does have a problem with this is a hypocrite. You've sold the soul of the values that made you just as liberal as the rest of us for the benefit of ONE PERSON--a losing candidate who has also sold her soul. How sickening.
