With the assassination of abortion provider George Tiller in church in Kansas on Sunday, and the subsequent backpedaling of those who wished violence on him, coupled with the renewed emphasis on Roe v. Wade and the lack of interest in bringing it up in the Sotomayor hearings - I got to thinkin'....
The right wing is so interested in making sure babies are born, and yet once they're here, we give them the old "son, you're on your own".
Here's a partial list of countries that have a lower infant mortality rate than the U.S.. When are we going to become as concerned with the ones that are born?
1) Iceland (Bjork's country cannot beat us. We had Grand Funk Railroad.)
2) Singapore (a microstate... at #2. Really? Is that like micropenis?)
8) Czech Republic (used to be run by a poet, fer Chris'sakes)
12) Belgium (no one who drinks white beer should rate this high)
13) France (must be a misprint. Honey, put on your Freedom-cut Panties and get out the Freedom Tickler.)
17) Austria (the hills ARE alive, I hear they have eyes too)
19) Luxembourg (a landlocked Grand Duchy. Hang your head America)
22) Slovenia (formerly part of Socialist Yugoslavia. Don't let Hannity's head bounce off the ground.)
24) Canada (what's that about socialized medicine again?)
27) Portugal (the last time they were ahead of us, it involved Prince Henry the Navigator)
29) Cuba (freaking CUBA! They drive '50 Buicks. And float them too.)
30) Channel Islands (huh? That's a real place?)
32) Cyprus (most famous for the Bond movie Octopussy... and THEY beat us?)
33) New Caledonia (A French holding in the Coral Sea. France. Again. Damn.)
34) United States (why does infant mortality hate America?)
