Republicans have never cared about children.

Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.

• George Carlin

Republicans do not care about freedom or personal liberty. Texas is pretty red with the exception of the major cities. The majority of the state is roughly in favor of these decisions.

Sounds like there needs to be a new edition of The Green Book
