To the Oklahoma Legislature


If you're going to force me to keep this baby, you better be ready to pay money to keep him from becoming a steretoype. Pro-choice is the most successful propaganda movement to keep the lower class low. So is the death penalty. It costs more to kill a man, due to appeals, then to give them free education to the level of a PhD. You could be a doctor or a convict and your government is hedging its bets against you. We don't want you to keep the baby to cut your finances in half and cut your plausibility of basic education to nil-- stop the threat of too many peer minds finally rising to the occasion and saying “this has gone on far too long” richest and poorest nation in the world. Our civil rights our outshined every day by Canada. And they can't compare to our war death count, so I think we're bicycling backwards through a white suburb of blindness and neglect, letting the world rot outside our bubble and within our hearts --no we say it's because of God and because of morals. And in the history of cultural societies using religious ideologies to form a social standard slavery they hope the poor don't know how to articulate without sounding blesphemous. Thank God we've got the rich white republican to tell us how God feels about my body.
