I cross posted my critique of China's mandatory abortion policy on mydd.
Guess what?
A "progressive" DEFENDED China's forced abortion policy (and got two rec.s).
"When people in China marry the laws about childbearing are explained to them. They an explicit (indeed the major) official condition of marriage and contracting a marriage. To violate the childbearing laws is to willingly and voluntarily violate a contract the couple made with the state (which in China unambiguously means: with the society at large) and were not coerced into."
"The reason that people agree to the these contracts is social consensus about reality, which is that China has a level of population that is already problematically high, and that no one citizen individually is so special or exceptional that all their offspring are a priori entitled to membership in the society more than anyone else's."
"Reading your various threads/postings, I am rather surprised that you call yourself a Democrat but really don't bother with even'the essence of social contract theory. Or the rigorous form of understanding of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clause civil rights guarantees that is the Constitutional doctrinal core of what the Democratic Party represents, relative to the Republican Party, since 1972."

Nice. DEFENDING forced abortion, and then having the gall to cite to the equal protection and due process clauses of the U.S. Constitution. Nice.
Some folks really do bend over backwards to knock America and excuse her enemies. Shame on them.

Contracts are sooo capitalist. Why is a progressive using one to defend anything? Didn't Biden say he wanted Judges to be able change contracts? Or Obama say he wanted Judges that took situations of people into account (vs. just using the law)? Now it’s all with the 'contracts'...
But anyway, progressives (when they’re being honest) will always take the side of a strong state / social planning over the rights of individuals…
To me, here is the money portion from that post:

Oh. My. G-d.
Un-fucking, believable.
So it's really true isn't it. Progressives REALLY DO believe in all that "peoples'" this and "peoples'" that, horseshit, don't they.
As opposed to seeing it for what it is - a totalitarian dictatorship, where those rulers who are self-selected for LIFE, have the total and absolute power to micromanage the lives and personal choices of individuals, right down to decreeing that "this country is overcrowded" and so...if an individual man and an individual woman fall in love and decide to get married....guess what folks, you've signed a "contract" with.....I love this...wait for it...wait for it....SOCIETY AT LARGE."
No wonder Karl Marx is still so popular in academia.
Barry, why do you even waste your time subjecting yourself from the abuse you are getting on that site? Seems like you are pretty much totally hated over there, based on the comments which mostly just slime you.
Because I post where ever they let me, and hopefully influence the "silent majority". As to the comments, it's really the same 6 or so crazies that comment 24/7 on mydd.
