there is going to be a baby boom


think on it. people with no jobs, lots of time, and can still afford alcohol.


recently had a wonderful attack by a virus. my white corpuscles did a great job and I lived to tell the tale. recouping I watched all the day time reality shows and discovered that for americans:

sex urges take prime priority over anything else. work, school, children, jobs, doesn't matter, sex first.

'we hooked up and things happened' = a baby.

the Judge shows are full of men/boys not supporting children.
--------


I see a baby boom coming and the health system won't be able to handle it. many of these babies will have a medical problem.

SS won't be able to handle it.

fore warned is fore armed.

1. Someone on teevee was talking about an Obama baby boom.
As in nine months from November 4th.

Happy people = more sex for a few days.

2. The birthrate went way down during the Depression
partly because men left their families behind to find work and partly because wives flatly refused sex without condoms in a time when they could not only ill afford any extra food to sustain a pregnancy, they could not afford care at childbirth or to feed a child after the pregnancy.

Men's fancy might turn to their favorite pastime in times of idleness, but women bear the consequences. They refuse to bear them for long.

5. Um, this isn't the 1930s.
Women enjoy sex. Have always enjoyed sex. It's also our favorite pasttime, even though we're conditioned not to broadcast that.

The difference now is that there are more birth control options available (the rightwing nutcases fantasies, aside).

But, you are correct that birthrates go down during economic turmoil. Just don't confuse that with the idea that sex is only a man's fancy. :)

9. And the poor.
The poor have always been disposable. The only difference is, since they reside in our country, we don't blow them up. But we have no issue with letting them drown, freeze, starve, or die of disease. But hey, "We're number one!"

11. Yes, the sanctity of life...beginning at conception, ending at birth...
...unless of course, you are straight, white & wealthy (and preferably of one or another fundy variety).

10. Don't worry. With Obama making health care accessable to everyone
and expanding access to contraceptives and education, fewer women will be feeling the need to have abortions.

BTW, why do people like you spend so much time obsessing about other people's reproductive tracts?
