Why do Republicans hate children so much? Is it because they're attracted to them, but can't have them or...?
I don’t think they hate children per se, I think they just hate poor people. Gotta punish the poors for having the audacity to have children they can’t afford despite their criminalizing abortion!
It's using the kids to punish the parents. Members of my wife's family claim to be Christians but support these types of policies and don't see the problem. I've had to check out when yhose discussions come up.
Who can forget that famous gospel where Jesus says “fuck them kids!”
I swear, supply side Jesus ruins everything.
And they don't think of children as people at all, just pawns they can use to hurt poor adults.
Nothing like moving children into an objectively abusive system than helping their families get back on their feet.
In the 1920s, my grandmother's parents abandoned her with not especially close relatives who didn't care much for her in Schenectady, NY so they could go back to New York City. In the 1950s, my mother, my uncle and my grandparents were essentially homeless for a while. They lived on the enclosed porch of a friend who had a house in Queens. If they had lived in Georgia, and it had been today, I couldn't even imagine how my grandmother, abandoned by her own parents, would have reacted if my mother had been taken away from her.
They got their own home after a year and a half or so and my mother was in no way scarred by the experience. In fact, she liked it because the family inside the house had a television and she could watch it.
