I hate this country because of Republican conservatives

[Stargazer99]

As a teen the uncle, Don Woods of Puyallup WA, tried to force me into sex. Infact years after I became an adult he told my I was lucky he didn't force me. Where were you social service cutters (Republicans) when as a 15 year old kid I had to face this alone? Oh, I see if you can't afford the help, to hell with you...got the message
My aunt (I was raised by both in their home) wanted me to inherit the same as uncle's family
In an effort to protect her husband monetarily from medical care that he may need after she died, he was given authority over the will to change it for his medical care. Well, he became old and venerable and his nieces and nephews told him they would not like it if he gave me anything (he was then living with them). I contacted a lawyer in Washington state and was told that was the only way to assure uncle funds for medical care if needed. There was no other way legally to arrange it to protect me and uncle at the same time. Where were your wonderfu laws in this country? In consequence I married at 15 yrs old to escape possible rape and lost my education and my ability to make enough money to provide for my children.
Where were you conservatives? Your usual reaction is too bad, but don't expect any help from me. But you sure can criticize me, can't you lazy welfare Queen. Well, this welfare queen had to rise at 5am, walk to the sitters for my girls, catch a bus that took an hour to get to my place of employment of 8 hrs and an hour on bus back home. My children suffered from me not being home when they needed me. Oh, yeah, I worked but where in hell were you when my children needed me...oh, I know, too bad but don't bother my conservative values. When my girls were in school the state of California allowed me to attend school at $8 a class...if you had your way I would never have received that education that allowed me to get a minimum wage job.
Never the less my children suffered...but who cares? Right? Sometimes I wonder if maybe the theory that compassion part is missing in your brains!
You want to make abortion illegal...I tell you there are a lot more things WORSE than abortion.. like domestic abuse (which I experienced because I did not have to income to leave my abuser or to understand why I was in that type of situation).hunger, humiliation of poverty, medical/dental issues you can't pay for so you and your children suffer..cut them social programs! Bankers and corporations need that tax money you know...a wise man once advised us not to worship mammon, but what did he know...right? Especially since you have Dominist values running rampant in your party. Do you ever listen to those who suffer from your selfish monied oriented political laws? Maybe they could tell you what is wrong and if you had any compassion fix the damn problems....but I guess that is too difficult to do when dollar signs cloud your vision. If I had been born in Norway, Denmark, Germany, etc I and my children would never have suffered so much....abortion would have been far more humane than what I and my children have gone through. My older girl died from a perfectly preventable medical condition (leaving a 14 yr daughter). No, your damned "go to the emergency room" smoke job killed her. Her condition none of us would have been aware of not being medically educated, but it would have been caught if she had medicare care she could afford (she was working at a minimum wage job-no medical benefits-a specialty of Republican values). A man asked Jesus " Master they say lo here and lo there, who do I believe?" The reply was "by their fruits you will know them". If I could have moved out of this country my child would have been alive, my grandchildren educated enough to find a decent paying job.
I am 74 yrs old, I get up at 6am to go to a minimum wage job to supplement my small social security (which you conservatives would cheerfully destroy) I arrive home 6/7 pm from the second min wage job. I am now ill from RX I was prescribed and have minimum coverage and multiple co-pays which short changes me in paying rent, utilities, food and transportation.
To you anti-abortionist, I would have been a lot better off if I had never been born..what makes you think just breathing is life? You made this country....the shame, heartache and pain you so easily lay on the poor are the fruits of lo here and lo there.

3. The only thing that they are "conservative" about is their compassion

My condolences for your hardships. Repbulicans, by and large, seem profoundly ignorant and/or unconcerned about the effects that their ideology/policies have on people like themselves and until or unless some kind of tragedy befalls or affects them directly, they typically remain ignorant and/or unconcerned and continue existing inside their little "bubble". There is plenty room for debate about the size and scale of government and what the best policies for addressing certain problems, but the biggest problems I have with most right-wingers/Republicans is that they prefer not to debate the issues and would simply prefer to do what they want to do whether or not it hurts people or even if it works at all, never change course even when it's obvious that what they're doing isn't working (they simply just attack the critics personally), they decry everybody else's policies but rarely (if ever) have any demonstrable alternatives, and, rather than constructively seek solutions, they simply demonize everybody else as anti-American, tyrannical, abusive, divisive, freeloaders, etc so that they can ignore them (and make everybody else ignore them as well).

"...the compassion part is missing in your brains(conservatives)...what makes you think just breathing is life?...there are a lot more things WORSE than abortion"

well put, and I've been there... I understand

[Stargazer99]

10. Thank you for your response, it makes me feel not so alone

that someone understands

[DFW]

14. Most of us understand.

What we can't understand is that so many people in this country would hear your story and ask, "so what's the problem?"

13. paragraph breaks are your friend.

Your OP is unreadable.

[Stargazer99]

15. If it is unreadable try reading the spirit of the letter

Like Jesus said to the religious heads "you read the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law"
