What do you think about this perspective on the abortion issue from Chris Hedges? [truthdig.com]
I agree with Marionville, I don't think most foes of abortion even consider the declining birthrates.
There is definitely a common link between people who fret about white people not being the majority and those who fight against birth control and reproductive choice.
There is no one reason why the anti abortionist lobby are pushing their agenda in my opinion. There is obviously a certain truth in this study, and it will be representative of a particular political mindset. However, I don’t think that it’s really on the mind of the Old Testament pro lifers....they think that they are carrying out god’s wishes, by making sure every potential life is delivered, even by a reluctant mother. It just suits the agenda of those who have this more cynical view of why we we need to keep the number of “drones “ at a certain level in order to keep the State from paying more, to ally themselves with these useful idiots on the religious right.
