    For a country that supposedly prioritizes children, America sure finds many ways to fuck with them. Letting them get shot. Letting their rights get messed with. Letting them work unsafe jobs. Letting them be abused by abusive families. Ah yeah, very caring of children this country.

    Kids stop mattering after they’re born, it’s more like America is obsessed with the fetus but stop giving a shit right when the kid pops out and a couple years after.

      If it makes you feel better, no one on the right actually cares about a fetus either. It’s purely a political cudgel for them to use. As a country, we completely lack empathy.

      The only reason conservatives care about children is because they’re too young to voice their own opinion and so can’t disagree with them, making them a perfect political tool.

      Literally every “think of the children” argument is just broadcasting their own beliefs while trying to cut off any possibility of disagreement or judgment.

      The only thing they care about is feeding the money machine with new drones. Everything they say and do towards that end is posturing.

      Kids didn’t matter before they’re born either. Do you hear any conservative calling to publicly fund NICUs or even pre-natal care?
