More from the Republican Party in a state that is one of the most RED on the planet but yet 58% of the students in the state are on the government lunch program (no it is not nearly 58% black so there have to be whites on it too). While saying that these kids are like stray animals and feeding them is just encouraging them to breed, they also oppose abortion. People like this are why we need cheap and available abortions now more than ever!

They care more about a fetus than a 5 year old kid who doesn't have health insurance and goes to be hungry at night.
I just don't get why they oppose abortion, oppose condom distribution and paying for low-income people to have access to birth control yet constantly harp on poor people who have children.

And I thought most of the Republicans/religious right didn't believe in evolution/survival of the fittest!
I don't have a problem with feeding the students in our schools as long as they are all getting fed.
I do have a problem with having to send my kid to school with his lunch and then feeding some other person's kid with my taxes.
As curious as it seems, I waited until I was able to actually house, cloth, and feed my child before I considered having them. My parents did the same.

Is it just too darn hard to click the link, or what?

"They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is, you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better,” Bauer said.
- OP's link, from Charlotte NC paper. The title of the article is "S.C. Republican: Aid like feeding strays"
I am not going to name names here, and this doesn't apply to all of the posters above me in this thread.
However, anyone who takes this doooooooooosh as an example of a normal person is out of his or her mind.
He might have made a valid analogy if he wasn't so stupid as to just make a blanket statement like that.
The title of the thread is misleading as well. The reason it was even a story was because ONE republican made a crazy statement. I am sure there will be more but probably unrelated.

I think he expressed a pretty common right wing opinion. If it's dooooshy then so be it.
How would you have shaped it into a "valid analogy"?

It's about being responsible for your actions. Before you get knocked up or after you give birth.
Those who use abortion as a form of birth control are no better than those who have 5 kids they can't afford and keep on having more.
"Bauer's remarks came during a speech in which he said government should take away assistance if those receiving help didn't pass drug tests or attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings if their children were receiving free and reduced-price lunches."
You can get an abortion in SC. So that is NOT the issue. He was calling for parents of children to try to pretend they care about them, while they have 10 more and live off tax payer monies. What are you going to do? Force abortions for people who live off the state and are pregnant, yet again?
No matter WHICH side of the argument you sit on, it all comes down to being responsible for your actions. Pre abortion or post-birth. It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.
USE birth control or pay your own way if you keep the baby. USE birth control and stop pretending you're responsible while getting an abortion.
