Today: I see that there is evil— but I know that there is good.
So, Alito was confirmed. Fucker. I know this is going to end up in my FBI file, but there are serious reasons for a higher criminal mortality rate in the US government at this point—if you catch my drift.
I mean, for fucks sake, they all but say that we should be killed, they hate abortion doctors, they hate single mothers, they hate homosexual—and from how people are treated in the criminal justice system in this country, it’s easy to see where the sentiment is. They slap the murderers of planned-parenthood doctors on the wrist, but they race to kill as many poor, minority criminals as they can—especially handy if they’re retarded or can’t afford to defend themselves. They go for the second highest execution rate in the WORLD as if it’s a competition—BUT by all means, let’s save the babies. The babies. The *sob* *sniff* babies.
Let’s let alone any ‘moral’ or even ethical debate on what’s a live person, for a moment let’s just be civil. Let’s just be realistic.
FUCK THE BABIES. We don’t need any more mouths to feed in this country. Save the live people. Save the poor. Save the people living in trailer parks and the ghettos. Give them hundreds of condoms if necessary. Give them free morning-after pills with breakfasts at McDonalds. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but, fuck, give them a chance. Don’t load them down with babies who will keep them poor. You want birth control unavailable because it will give you cheap labor and we won’t have to farm in Mexicans and Filipinos anymore; we’ll have millions of our own poor—that way we can take over those countries like we’ve always wanted to without worry what will happen to the economy. Whoever said manifest destiny was dead? It’s just expanded to ‘pole to pole, sea to sea TO SEA—and back’)
Because you know what? The rich will always have abortions. Secretly, quietly, cleanly and safely: they will rid themselves of whatever problem they want weather it’s legal or not—they always have. It’s only the poor who suffer when there are restrictions made in the name of ‘morality’ that go against personal safety.
This isn’t a step backward in evolution or social welfare. It’s a step forward in the plot to turn the poor back into a work force capable of sustaining a self-contained labor machine for rich America. Kill the unions and take away things stopping the poor from unchecked population growth. So simple. So evil. So right-wing.
In other news, I wrote a TV show. Let’s hope it sells so I can have the platform and cultural capital to actually take on these assholes:)

Your analysis of how abortion plays out across class lines is accurate, but I don't think the point of restricting access to abortions is to help prop up population growth in certain income categories. It is, however, about providing enormous checks on the political and social power of those groups with law that upholds the subordination of the body to the state. The country actually has plenty of people to fill its service-sector jobs, and as the middle class wanes, work now too awful to be held by anyone but immigrants will gradually become acceptably inevitable for other Americans. I don't think anyone's concern is securing labor pools when even the cheapest domestic labor is more expensive than outsourced work in the Third World.
The battle over Roe, to my mind, has never been about health or population, or even ethics, for that matter, no matter how advocacy on either side has attempted to cast it. Rather, it is one of the cases that underlies the very weak claim of a constitutional right to privacy and a certain amount of corporeal autonomy, and those are the ideas the right wing would like to dash.

You're right, but I wouldn't be surprised if a boom in poor babies would eventually make wages drop in the industrial sector.
Especially since we're already trying to control how much outsourcing is going to certain countries (especially with the Filipeans and China) to give us the ability to pull out if there is a political need.

Wages in manufacturing will go minimal in this country the second the remnants of organized labor in that sector are crushed (I'm thinking of the auto industry's war on the UAW to "remain competitive," since god knows Detroit can't come up with a good car to save its life). The biggest problem with the transfer of industrial capacity overseas isn't just that the jobs migrated, but much of the actual infrastructure and physical plant did as well -- whole steel mills disassembled and reassembled in the Chinese provinces. So there's not much to fall back on and exiting for political reasons, though I can't think of any that wouldn't be economically determined to begin with, is largely impossible. We are, from a consumer goods point of view, bound to the smooth stability of expanding Chinese hegemony in southeast and east Asia, a dependency propogated in large part by our good friends at Wal-Mart. In post-Bush America there will basically be three paths: venture capitalist, underpaid knowledge worker, underpaid service worker; the underpaid will be expected to satiate themselves on abundant imports and a pornographically proliferating recycled culture; and if the last few decades have been any indicator, they'll be perfectly glad to do it, too.
