The republican desire to ban birth control is racism in a Sunday hat...

[Joe the Revelator]

The fact is, aside from the quiverful freaks, wasps aren't having as many children as some other groups. The white power structure of the republican party are doing everything they can, including forcing woman to have children, to ensure that they don't lose the majority in this country.

4. Interesting. Let's ask Pat Buchanan what he thinks.

He says white people need to make more babies. No birth control for you white people. You need to get breeding.

Yes there is a certain constituency in the Republican party that is concerned about slower birth rates for whites. It could play into the birth control debate a little. It makes as much sense as any other explanation.


That's fun to talk about but do republicans really want to control birth control? Most of them would probably wouldn't think of it since it's political suicide.

5. No, it's not.

You're thinking into this way too deeply. Repuke pols talk about birth control because it excites the base. The base gets excited because they're very concerned about this debauchery going on with women having sex for fun. Nobody is making the connection you're making. Your logic is solid, but it's not their logic.

6. It looks like sexism to me. nt

7. Naw. It's plain old misogyny

You're attributing too much thinking to these people.

Their concern is that women are able to have sex without the "divine punishment" of pregnancy - and that absolutely IS how they see pregnancy, it's the wrath of a god angry that you opened your legs.

10. do they really want more of us than them?

really if I understand what they're saying, eventually the white males would indeed become a minority. Funny.

[WingDinger]

11. NO, you dissallow RED state abortions and contraceptives. You dissallow going across state lines.

You allow women in blue states to do as they wish. You make life so hostile for minority women in red states, that they self deport.
This will shift the balance of births if not nationally, certainly per red state.
