Driving home from a holiday visit with friends I was searching for a radio station and came upon a ‘religious’ station. The host of the show was interviewing the head of PersonhoodUSA. He kept saying they were protecting these ‘children’ and fighting for these ‘children’. It amazed me that they were so supportive of these children in the womb, but after they are born they forget about them. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the country, it has the lowest life expectancy, the lowest literacy rate, the most deficient state Medicaid program and it ranks 45^th on educational spending. If they were really worried about protecting and fighting for these children in Mississippi why don’t they educate the ones that are there? Why aren’t they doing things to lift these children out of poverty? Why don’t they invest resources to keep these children healthy?

Instead they invest resources in trying to get the government for force women to bring even more children into a place where they are unwanted. Why are the children so precious and valuable before they are born but not so after they are born?
