I think you are confusing science and religion. You are a messed up person. Every statement you make is " the left... The left..." There are plenty of people on the left who have intelligent, well thought out views about abortion laws. Not everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

So it’s ok for wdmso to say that republicans don’t like science, but it’s “messed up” when I respond. Only the left gets to attack on party lines, I missed that announcement, but you have my deepest apologies. When you can’t make someone wrong, but you don’t have it in you to admit they have a point, you can always attack.

You generally don't have a point when you think you do is the point. You throw out nonsense as if it is fact. If it wasn't you, I might suggest you have 20-30 children. Think of all those potential lives you are preventing by limiting your procreation.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

"You generally don't have a point "

Die-hard liberals often fail to see points that are based on common sense, logic, and a desire for everyone (not just me) to thrive.

"You throw out nonsense "

Sometimes I do, unfortunately. Not usually.

"I might suggest you have 20-30 children"

Here in the People's Republic Of Konnecticut, thanks to liberalism, my 3 are about all I can afford. I wish I could have 4 or 5.

"Think of all those potential lives you are preventing by limiting your procreation"

Based on what I see in my kids, it is indeed society's loss. we could use a lot more people like them.

You should consider moving. It is really sad. Think of all those lives. You could also get another job or save by not paying for charter trips. Cut back a little, you know? Do it for those potential lives that are lost every year. If this is important to you, do whatever you can to make it happen.

Also, I have no doubt your kids are wonderful. My kids are also greatly influenced by their mother and many kids turn out well despite us

"You should consider moving"

I have considered it, thanks...my elderly parents live a mile away, my wife who stays at home helps them with all manner of chores...they aren't moving, and they'd be cosmically screwed if I left. I could do more for my kids if we moved, but I can't do anything for my parents if we moved.

"It is really sad"

What's sad is that thanks to the exact policies you support, I am in the awesome position of getting to choose between my responsibility to my children, and my responsibility to my parents, to whom I owe everything. It's a great spot to be in. And all thanks to liberal economics.

"many kids turn out well despite us "

Certainly true in my case!

I did the math, I am good at this math. I could move to NH, and pocket more than $900 a month, every month, for the rest of my career, 20 years. And that's based on today. In the near future, CT will become more expensive relative to NH, as we raise taxes again and again.

There's no way I could cut back enough to generate that kind of scratch every month. The penalty we pay to live in CT, is enormous. With very little to show for it.
