Rita's Spur to Action

When I Have Fears Part 3

If the increase in worldwide population is the issue that many people believe it is, then we should look closely at our own Congress and our own government for the irresponsible role that they play. Among the very first actions taken by this administration was to institute a worldwide gag order which was wildly supported by the born again Christian right wing of the Republican Party. The gag order means that organizations anywhere in the world receiving government money would be cut off from funding if they so much as mention abortion, birth control or any other issues that effect women’s reproductive health.

It is obvious that these people in this administration are so ignorant and so abusive of women that they do not even understand the relationship between women’s ability to take control of their reproductive lives and the subsequent decrease in the rates of both the population and the number of abortions. The distribution of contraceptives  and information provided by the UN Population Fund prevented 3.7 million abortions last year, so obviously if you are against both population increase and abortion then you should logically support the UN Population Fund instead of destroying it.

The following weeks will be dedicated to listing Trump’s incredible moves against the United States of America and the Democracy for which we stand.

Part 1

I am sure that Trump has fears that he may cease to be before he has destroyed our nation and brought us all down with him.

Alone and desperate, he sits at his desk in the Oval Office and dreams up actions he can take to hasten our demise as a nation, as a world power, as a democracy and as a world in which we might choose to live with intelligence, industry and compassion.

The following weeks will be dedicated to listing Trump’s incredible moves against the United States of America.
