Clever and I appreciate the direction she’s coming from but.. Well- the thing is that “caring” means different things. You can hate your coworker but not want them to lose their job and home. You can want them to lose their job but not wish they didn’t exist. So they “care” in so much as they don’t want to see “kids” “killed” <sic> but they don’t care wether they have a shit life or not. States without the death penalty care enough about convicts to kill them, but not enough to make sure they have proper medical care or food or many of the others horrors of prison life. So I mean- “pro life” isn’t “pro QUALITY of life.” When someone says they want to abort because they can’t provide a good life for a child, the people at these rallies or voting in these laws aren’t running to Go fund me to set up a trust to take care of them.

That said... I don’t know how much I’d trust the think tank from a state with the worst education, top 5 in unemployment, welfare recipients and yet still somehow with 1/5 people below the poverty line, A state that slots in just under California in income inequality (California has the most billionaires of any state- 194 worth over $500 billion- so inequality in CA would be high regardless) So, a state that consistently shows it can’t really do much of anything right on an administrative level isn’t who I’d make my “go to” source of wisdom on what a good law looks like.

That’s one of those cases like having a screw up cousin- where pretty much whatever that person thinks you should do- you do the opposite because you see what a shit show their opinions made of their own life. So I wouldn’t insult them by saying they don’t care- your pet fish might care about you, but maybe the fish shouldn’t be a leader in public policy until it can at least learn to read and stop shitting where it eats.

Let's not forget the Heath care they're taking away from children and the poor.

Yes...much better to kill the children than subject them to the 50th worst education. I also heard that a fourth of our states are in the lowest quartile of education. Someone needs to fix that, too.
