No Rights or Reason

You know you have it good when you get a back rub before and after work.


Alright, whoever guesses how these two stories are related wins the prize:

South Dakota Passes Abortion Ban

Only an unlikely veto by Republican Gov. Michael Rounds could prevent the legislation from becoming law, people on both sides of the issue said.


Drives to Ban Gay Adoption Heat Up

Steps to pass laws (to ban gay couples from adopting) or secure November ballot initiatives are underway in at least 16 states, adoption, gay rights and conservative groups say.

Okay, I'll answer for you. This is how it looks from over here:

*giving up unwanted babies through abortion: bad
*giving up unwanted babies through adoption: good
*giving homosexual couples the right to raise those unwanted babies: bad
*giving straight couples the chance to raise those unwanted babies: good

So, they want to decrease the number of abortions by giving more support to adoption programs. Good, I agree with that. As does Planned Parenthood and every other pro-choice man and woman. But when you eliminate an entire community of willing, appropriate parents because the idea of two men or two women together gives you the "ickies", you've fucking taken it too far. That's not support. Who are they more concerned with? It surely isn't the unwanted children.
Logic? I'm out.
