    I suppose forcing women to give birth will indeed help this situation. Congress isn't passing anything that helps the average citizen until after the midterms at best. The GOP's platform is to make everyone suffer so they vote for us.

    Let's focus more on restricting books and speech about the gays and blacks because we sure as hell don't have any other agenda to run on except hate.

    Abortion is not and should not be used as birth control, not all but many don't get that. You mean the fabricated hate and racism that didn't actually exist until two years ago?

    Baby formula arrives in Indianapolis from Germany on US military aircraft to address critical need

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/22/politics/baby-formula-us-military-aircraft/index.html

    excerpt:

    A shipment of 35 tons of baby formula has arrived Sunday in Indianapolis on a US military aircraft from Germany to address a nationwide shortage.

    The prescription formula will be distributed to areas around the country where there is the most acute need, a Biden administration official earlier told CNN. But the official said none of the first shipment would land on store shelves in the US, adding that Sunday's shipment is hypoallergenic and will be fed to babies intolerant of protein in cow milk.

    The shipment included 132 pallets of formula, which arrived on one C-17 cargo plane. The formula originated from Zurich, Switzerland, and was trucked to Germany, where it was loaded on the C-17 and flown to the US.

    Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who greeted the arrival of the delivery in Indianapolis, said Sunday's shipment would provide enough formula for 9,000 babies and 18,000 toddlers for one week. The White House said the shipment was the equivalent of 1.5 million doses of eight-ounce bottles.

    If you’re raped or get pregnant by your brother or if your bodily health is in danger you should have the option to have an abortion. The status quo should remain but the GOP wants to ban birth control also. How many of our rights have to be rolled back to satisfy the insatiable republicans? Gay marriage next maybe interracial marriage afterwards?

    The party of small government as I’ve already stated has nothing to run on but hate with no actual agenda. Prove me wrong…

    Using abortion as birth control is actually moving backwards, while abortion should only be a medical procedure period. You can't just eliminate a life because you did not want to use birth control. We are way off topic....

    The United States has received foreign aid for almost all of its existence.

    Also it isn't as though these countries are just giving the US this formula as aid. The US is buying it.

    Note also under the last administration the US did similar things with flying in PPE from the PRC and other countries. I didn't see Republicans calling that "Foreign Aid"

    How does that apply to a case of rape?

    I dont think anyone should be forced to be a mother, I just dont think that killing a life for the actions of a parent is just or a solution.

    Yeah, its not an easy choice. But chosing the most extreme and barbaric one as the only option is absurd.

    That child can still have a life in an adoption centre despite how terrible the parents are.

    Well that's what happens when you have a system that allows 1 company to buy up and control the vast majority of baby formula production in the country. I forget, which party is all for unfettered capitalism again?

    Man I must have imagined all the racism I heard and saw as a Marine grunt from 2008-2012.
