The Law of Unintended Consequences is doing its part to make life just a little extra bit awful for disabled vets. A Veterans Administration ban on in vitro fertility treatments (IVF) -- put into place by "pro-life" lawmakers worried about the inalienable rights of frozen fertilized eggs -- means that many
That's what I'm thinking, too. Even though I'm mostly a "nurture over nature" kinda guy, you still have to wonder what's getting passed down the genetic line.
I was scared stiff my own daughters were going to pick up the hearing loss that runs in my family, but instead, they got their mother's lousy crooked teeth. And that was easily fixed a a regular flow of cash dollars to the appropriate practitioners.
Military 'thinking' is still having trouble with the concept of battlefield casualties that don't lie quietly under all those poppies and not cause trouble or expense.
I really can't fathom wanting to spend that kind of money on IVF when there are so many kids that are either homeless or have shelter but still need to be adopted.
But dollars to dollars, we literally paid the guy to go half-way around the planet to be a part of a network of service that is built to ensure there are dead people on the other side of this political conflict. To maintain a pro-life predicate, you can't stand atop of the corpses created by your expenditures in order to save a Blastocyst.There is a logical inconsistency to approving the funds required to travel half way across the planet to put a bullet in the brain of a local resident, and approving the funds to allow a veteran to seed his own family.
It just doesn't make sense even at the sub-human ranking of monetary tokens in our decision process to balance these needs against each other.
One of side effects of a so-called personhood bill/amendment is that age could be calculated from conception. Everyone gets to vote nine months sooner. Also collect social security, drink, drive, consent to sex.
This should be an issue that conservatives should be willing to donate, a GoFundMe for disabled vets, if they are not so inclined to use their tax dollars.

far too often this shit is generaltional
'We thank you for your sacrifice. Your CONTINUING, LIFELONG sacrifice. Now hold still for this photo op.'

Yeah, generally speaking, boners are helpful for pregnancies.
Ah, of course. If you can't kill 'em Over There, you can at least prevent them Over Here.
Our country would prefer that you have the ability to melt foreign faces, instead of making new american citizens.

Anyone who loses a limb in service deserves a tax-payer funded opportunity to be a parent, if that's what they want.
Since everyone knows this is a conservative country, their votes would be automatically assigned to the most conservative candidate.
Kinda like being a fetus in that regard.

Well, I'm old enough that it wouldn't benefit me at all. So i'm again it! And get off my lawn!
