Over 600,000 abortions are performed annually. Can the three branches of government come together and pass a trillion dollar “Help the new Babies” bill and then perhaps the LIVING, BREATHING extra 600,000 kids (annually) could have healthcare, a quality education and social support? I’d support a bill like that. But many politicians call that something… what do they call that?
Over 400,000 children are in foster care.
Over 100,000 children are waiting for their forever home. Waiting and waiting.
90% of kids with 5 or more placements will enter the justice system.
The 23,000 Kids who age out annually (because most people want to adopt very young children) have grim statistics. 70% get pregnant before age 21. 60% end up in the sex industry. 20% are INSTANTLY homeless. 25% suffer from PTSD (child abuse produces horrifying PTSD symptoms just like war veterans suffer from). Less than 3% get a college education by age 26. Only 50% find employment before age 24. 25% will be incarcerated within 2 years.
Of the 3,145,000 million children who were the subject of a child welfare agency response in fiscal year 2020, 618,000 children were determined to be victims of maltreatment
Forty-nine states reported that 42,821 infants with prenatal substance exposure were referred to child welfare agencies for fiscal year 2020.
So we are pro kid right? Pro life? Then why is that happening? It happens now, daily. Where are the constitutional rights for those children? Where is the healthcare for those children? Housing? Education? Food and water? BASIC NEEDS. Right we can’t help them more because of what again? What is it called?!? Human decency? Kindness? No, it’s something else..
USA Kids Today….
2.5 million children are homeless (1 in 30)
11.6 million live in poverty (1 in 7)
5 die daily from abuse and neglect.
23 kids are shot and 6 are killed (3 murdered) by guns daily. DAILY!!! DAILY!!!!!
Out of the 23 shot— 8 are due to family fire — a shooting involving an improperly stored or misused gun found in the home resulting in injury or death. These are “responsible gun owners” who are most likely pro-life as well.
Okay but guns are “god-given rights”. We can’t change the constitution regarding guns. Is safe education a “god-given right”? We can change the Constitution (document that was written 247 years ago by white, mostly atheist, slave-owners) regarding women’s health though.
If we help the child welfare system, it’s socialism.
If we give families free healthcare, family planning services, birth control, comprehensive, factual sexual health education, it’s socialism. Those are scientifically proven to reduce abortions. So why don’t we support it?
Right, because socialism.
When we hand out billions in corporate welfare, that’s fine. Even to companies that are owned by extremely rich people, still okay.
We have had 116 Supreme Court justices. 108 have been white men, 93%. 110 have been men, 95%. 112 have been white, 97%.
Fetuses have more rights than impoverished, alive, children. I’ve never been more convinced that we live in a racist nation. Tucker Carlson said it was “SO EASY” for a black woman to become a Supreme Court Justice. The statistics don’t support this ridiculously, insanely racist person, who has become a republican folk hero! He’s fired now. But he has an unlimited number of clones.
We need to actually DO things that HELP the children and all the people who need it in this “PRO-LIFE, GUNS, GOD, GOVERNMENT” nation. Currently every tombstone says guilty. No absolution.
