The love of money IS the root of all evil.

Something is churning in a circular path in my brain.   Abortion.  I know; a time-bomb of a topic.  But, I've been thinking about it from a new perspective, at least to me.

What I'm curious about is, since abortion has been legalized since 1973, the total number of abortions performed varies wildly but it's safe to say it's around 50 million.  I was only able to take a topical view of the numbers cases of child abuse and neglect, childhood accidental and intentional deaths, and crimes against children.  They are heart-wrenchingly high.

Then, there's the issue of safe sex education.  School children across the nation, across the world, are being taught how to "safely" engage in sex.  Yet the number of teen pregnancies reaches around 750,000 per year.  Oh, and 48 percent of new cases of STD's each year occur in those aged 15-24.  Statistics from pregnantteenhelp.org 

So, here's where I lose understanding:
Federal funding for safe-sex programs, yet the government spends 8 billion dollars treating STD's, not counting HIV.
Federal funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, yet the government spends billions of dollars taking care of teen mothers and their children.
The media is targeting our children to purchase, watch, listen to, and participate in sexually (if not explicit, than certainly provocative) charged merchandising.

Teaching safe sex does not eliminate teen-age or even adult pregnancy and/or STDs.  The government funds the program, and when that fails, it funds abortions and STD healthcare.

Everyone knows that sex is money.  What I want to know is, who said it was okay to use our children to make money?  In this way?   The blue part of our democracy rails against teaching abstinence, because they say it fails.  How is failure measured against the failure of teaching safe sex and federally funded legalized abortions? They say that if abortion were not legal, millions of unwanted babies would be born, putting a burden on our already over-populated earth.  Yet millions of children are still being born to unloving and abusive parents every year, even though federally funded abortion is legal.  And then their parents receive: federal funding.

Abortion is not about choice.  If anyone thinks it is, they've been duped.  It's about MONEY.  Stinking, bloody, dirty money.   And someone sure loves money. . .
