Because some great people were born because of rape!

Arkansas is 1 of over 30 states that allow rapists to establish a relationship with their rape induced offspring. This is not just a social issue, but a religious one as well. I'm still an atheist, still living in a state that imposes religious 'rules' on residents. The very idea of a state not only preventing you from aborting a rapist's baby but on top of that forcing you to take the child to see him at the pen is beyond infuriating. And yes, I still have kids. Kids that weren't the result of rape or duress. Still love them, although they drive me nuts part of my waking hours. My point is, the religious 'right' (such an oxymoron!) can't have it both ways. No abortion, no contraception, no food stamps, no social safety net. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? I know what is is, & I guarantee you're not gonna like it. It is, simply put, about control. If you make your own choices about your life, the churches lose their control over you. If there's no food stamps, you have to seek out another source of food for you & yours when things are bad. Oh, goody! The church has a food pantry. The bad part is, you have to be a member to get anything from it. And in rural Arkansas, the requirements can be kinda high. 4 long years ago, when I was still trying to believe, a church I attended refused to help a young couple with food because they were not married. They were neighbors of mine & I knew they just had their baby 2 months premature. When I was told in no uncertain terms they would not be helped, that was basically the end for me. I had reached my bullshit capacity. Knew I was wasting my time & money. And it all fell into place. Why would an all knowing, omniscient being need money, food, etc., if that being was real? Easy. It's all made up. It's all bullshit. So when I can help somebody, I do. I don't send them to a church to get the hard sell on why they need a fictional character in their lives, making their decisions. In closing, let me be the heavy hand of reason & beg you to vote! Vote out these assholes who seek to impose their religious beliefs on you & any genitalia you may own. You may think your vote doesn't count, but I know their's a lot of Nader voters still kicking themselves in the ass to this day.
