Missouri, Kansas, Idaho don't want to lose representatives in Congress. . . [View all]
. . . So they need to ban abortion to keep up their population stats.
Do they also plan to build a wall and top it with barbed wire to keep people from moving out of state?
Here is a snippet from the content of the lawsuit these states are filing:
"Each abortion," they write, "represents at least one lost potential or actual birth." Because of this "loss of potential population," the states face "subsequent 'diminishment of political representation' and 'loss of federal funds,' such as potentially 'losing a seat in Congress or qualifying for less federal funding if their populations are' reduced or their increase diminished."
And further:
"Remote dispensing of abortion drugs," they assert, "is depressing expected birth rates for teenaged mothers."
By this reasoning, teaching sexual responsibilty is harmful to those states' bottom lines. Maybe they should legalize rape, or at least make it illegal for a woman to say "no".
