Who Really Has A Heart? ~ Eric Smith

Even if there was 100% fraud in the food stamp program versus the less than 1% fraud there actually is, I don't see how the Republican Party can justify its proposed cuts. For one thing many of the people they would deny food to have children and my thing is what did these kids do to deserve being starved & otherwise malnourished for the so called misconduct of their parents? Well some of these Republicans will no doubt argue that if these poor people didn't have so many babies there would be fewer kids out there who needed food stamps to begin with which is ridiculous on its face because these same Republicans have fought tooth and nail against common sense birth control measures that would greatly reduce the number of pregnancies. They've sought to defund Planned Parenthood which preaches the virtues of birth control and both teaches & enables the least fortunate among us how to acquire and use birth control properly.

Of course their efforts to reduce the number of abortions and outlaw abortion itself would only serve to increase the birth rate; those who can afford to leave the country in order to have abortions will do so as they did before Roe versus Wade and more than a few of course will resort to the back alley abortions where any lay person will be empowered to shove a pair of unsanitary coat hangers, scissors, pliers, and Lord knows what else up a pregnant woman's vagina and yank the unborn child out piece by piece, limb by limb, leaving parts of that shredded fetus to rot in the woman's womb after the procedure, leading to blood poisoning, the death of the mother, and invariably orphaned children who themselves will invariably suffer the further indignity of going hungry because their grandparents & other family who themselves are probably disabled & destitute, who have serious health issues of their own, will have been denied food stamps because of these cruel cuts.

One cannot possibly justify this for these are lives; human lives, American lives; the lives of innocent men, women, and children at play here. What the Republican Party is seeking to do with the food stamp program alone should make everyone hate it; it should make everyone feel ashamed to have the word Republican attached to their name in any way shape or form because what it is doing here is wrong, it is immoral, it is evil, and if one has even an ounce of compassion; a scintilla of care for the plight of their fellow human beings, then the word Republican itself should be more than enough to make them wretch as it does me; as it does anyone who really does care; who really has a heart.
