It\u2019s not pretty. No one likes abortion. But rather than blame men for impregnating women, I want to explain things to them. These new abortion laws around the country and possibly coming to Idaho soon are anti-male.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">According to one U.S.-based research organization, the abortion rate in countries that prohibit abortion is 37 per 1,000 people. In countries that permit abortion, it\u2019s 34 per 1,000. That difference is not \u201cstatistically significant\u201d but it\u2019ll mean something to your pocketbook because you know who\u2019s gonna have to foot their welfare bill once they make it out of the womb. You and me!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">The Gipper made it real clear: \u201cGovernment is not the solution to a problem. Government is the problem.\u201d Abortion laws are the perfect example of well-intended rule making. You see, most women have had a late period for reasons other than pregnancy. They happen once a month, but they can be flakey. Periods can be late. Periods can skip a month. Periods can change for women when they live with other women. Periods can be not periods at all, but actually miscarriages. I mean, it\u2019s like witchcraft down there. They need to talk to doctors about this stuff. But laws like the one in Texas can keep your lady from going to see the doc. Who wants to have to prove they had a miscarriage and not an abortion?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">One other reason for a late period is an STD. Gross. Now women aren\u2019t going to get checked out for that yuck, which means if some skank sleeps with a man, he might get an STD, too. Or even pass it on to his wife!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking of wives, what if some thug rapes her? And if your daughter gets molested by some libtard, what then? I know that\u2019s what guns are for, but you still can\u2019t take your gals to the doctor under these laws. That\u2019s because they\u2019ll do a followup appointment six weeks later, and if Thug Jr. or Lil\u2019 Creeper shows up with a beating heart in some sonogram\u2026 Well, let\u2019s just say,\u201dCigars, anyone?!\u201d Oh right, the snowflakes canceled those, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">And just think now about all those lazy folks on welfare looking for a handout while there\u2019s this whole $10,000 prize for reporting folks. I mean, say you and your wife are preparing for the miracle of life and you go around telling the whole town because you can\u2019t wait to be a daddy. But then your wife has a miscarriage. That\u2019s an easy $10k for any lawyer who can wrangle up a group of liars to say it wasn\u2019t a miscarriage in court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Some of what you just read might sound hyperbolic at worst and humorous at best, but they are actual potential impacts of, for sake of argument, a well-meaning law by well-meaning folks. And that\u2019s something politicians and the media shouldn\u2019t put a mask over. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Eric Valentine Abortion. It\u2019s not pretty.
