Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn’t wanna fuck in the first place? 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.
Conservatives don’t give a shit about you until you reach ‘military age’. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they’ve been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?
They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.
George Carlin in Back in Town on abortion (via gaywitchpracticingabortion)

I miss George Carlin.

This couldn’t be said any better. Or too much.

As much as I love George Carlin, and as much as I otherwise love this quotation, I actually take some issue with the “They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn.”
Look at the most recent budget wars. Cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, which provides some prenatal care and counseling. Cutting WIC food programs, which service pregnant women in addition to infants and children. Refusing to advocate for national health insurance that would include prenatal care. Creating a xenophobic, anti-immigrant atmosphere that keeps undocumented pregnant women away from the hospitals where they might otherwise seek urgently-needed services. Their policies reinforce economic and social circumstances that deprive poor pregnant women of the health care and environment that contribute to healthy, low-complication pregnancies and healthy babies.
Conclusion: They don’t give a single fuck about the fetus, except insofar as the fetus is the tool they can use to control the woman.
