Evergreen George Carlin quote: “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.”

Well, it makes perfect sense when you realize these people view kids as nothing more than instruments of economic growth - forcing parents to work in conditions they don't want to, to make ends meet. And nowadays, even lowering working age and working conditions for the kids themselves to force them to work as well. They are purely pro-capitalism and they want the kids to be forced to be born so there will be a steady supply of meat for the grinder. It's that simple.

The issue is that you're looking at it from a common sense view. They don't share it. They just decided this is what they believe in, and will oppose anything else. It doesn't have to make sense for them.

John Fugelsang is a pretty well known comedian / actor / podcaster and is definitely liberal. He's been critical like this of republicans for as long as I remember.

Yoo, that Neverwinter Nights pfp takes me back. Such a shame that the recent remaster plays so bad on consoles.
