"(T)he father is The Decider, the ultimate moral authority in the family. His authority must not be challenged. His job is to protect the family, to support the family (by winning competitions in the marketplace), and to teach his kids right from wrong by disciplining them physically when they do wrong. The use of force is necessary and required. Only then will children develop the internal discipline to become moral beings. And only with such discipline will they be able to prosper. And what of people who are not prosperous? They don't have discipline, and without discipline they cannot be moral, so they deserve their poverty. The good people are hence the prosperous people. Helping others takes away their discipline, and hence makes them both unable to prosper on their own and function morally..."


To conservatives, sex is a dirty act that is only made clean if one is in a church sanctioned marriage, and all reproductive decisions are made by the father. Until a woman is married, she is supposed to have the discipline to abstain from sex until she is in this sanctioned condition.

In accordance with the conservative doctrine of individual responsibility, women who become pregnant must 'be responsible for' the product of having sex (children).

Removal of funding for birth control, abortion, etc is an act of force that 'is necessary and required' to teach poor women the discipline they are expected to have to not have sex... and to punish them for the sex they did have.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and all that accompany it are believed to be god's punishment to women for bringing sin into the world...

So every woman who dies from miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is merely god exacting his price on humanity for Eve's sin.

The poor are sinful, otherwise they wouldn't be poor... and therefore they must be punished if they are to be 'saved.'

Oh, and...

Ignorance is Strength.
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
