Just say NO to PLUB

[ck4829]

I want to put another angle in the Pro-Choice/Anti-Choice debate

I call it PLUB'n

Pro-Life Until Birth

This is when a person opposes Abortion, but this person doesn't want to support the mother after the baby is born (Usually this person wants to scrap any and all welfare programs).

Don't be a PLUBber.

1. Exactly! That is their exact position. Once that child takes a breath

those "pro-lifers" don't give a damn about them.
No support for health care for the child or the mother, no support for education, job training, housing, clean air, clean water, or any other aspect of that child's or its mother's life after it is born.

They are not pro-life, they are pro-fetus. Their "concern" ends at the moment of birth.

They are hypocrites, and all they are really after is control of women.

2. Right to Life?

THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR

Their small gross bellies are fat
Are they fat with bread and meat?
They are fat with wind and worms
Eyes filled with flies and snot
And emptiness…these old men children
These living skeletons you’ve begot
By your complacence and raucous ravings
Withholding ways and means and caring
You’re foolish pratings of “right to life”
You call that life? What kind of life that
Clings with tiny scrawny claws to scrawny
Empty tits? Are these your proof of justification
These starving waifs your consecration?
Will God smile on you for these?
He does not seem to smile on them.
When you dedicate yourselves to sacrifice
Eschew your rights to those soft beds, those
Groaning boards, go naked in the wilderness
Then all your pious shoutings will not be empty
Mouthings and your silly bluster will have
Substance and some worth…til then be still!
Your senseless winds are but the ravings of
Blind idiots with hollow hearts
And empty hands.

3. I direct you to the eminent sage George Carlin:

If you're pre-born, you're fine.

If you're pre-school, you're fucked.
