We went and saw the play “Dear Evan Hansen” last night. To tell you anything about it would be to spoil the thing. However, I will say this – if you have a teenager, this is a play for and about them. Take them to it.
While I was watching the play I couldn’t help but think of Paul Gauguin. He was a man who created a world that didn’t exist, that never existed, but he imagined it so.
This led me to think about Rosie Perez who was recently on a talk show and talked about the decision to overturn Roe and how that would lead inevitably to many children being born that will be unwanted and unloved…and abused.
This leads me to Rudy Giuliani who in the early 90s took credit for the drop in New York City crime due to his efforts. The head of the LA PD did the same in his city. None of their claims held up under scrutiny. It was wishful projection on their parts. The best explanation I have heard came from Malcolm Gladwell who pointed out that the 1973 decision of Roe led to fewer unwanted children coming of age in the early 1990s and therefore less crime because abused children find others to abuse and when they come of age that translates to the kind of crime Rudy pounded his chest and said he stopped (but really didn’t.)
So, what can we expect with unwanted children being foisted onto people who don’t want then and in turn onto our streets and society?
This leads me to ask the question of what do these people who want to end abortion really want?
And, what do the people behind them puling the strings to get them to act want?
Certainly, as has been shown time and time again, it’s not for protecting life or any such nonsense like that because there is no follow through on their part to make lives better. It anything it seems those people do everything in their power to make people’s lives more miserable.
Okay. I’m done.
Wow! Years ago I came to New York for the Toy Fair. I had gotten a free ticket to the opera. I called a cab because I was a little afraid of the amount of crime I had heard about. I told the cab driver how appreciative I was for the cabs since New York had a reputation for crime. The cabbie told me that I should feel safe since Rudy had cut down on crime. I did feel safer on the ride back to the hotel.
The main problem is that women should be the sole individual as to her life and the life she may or may not want. Maybe the SCOTUS’ will deem that we cover our hair? Think the fathers males should be expected to pay until the child is 18.
