Hunger/Food Insecurity

Texas child abuse, neglect deaths soar 31 percent | Dallasnews.com - News for Dallas, Texas - The Dallas Morning News

Anyplace you find conservatives in charge for a hundred years or more, you find hunger, poverty, disease, deaths, and anti women legislation. They are such a rotten group to be malevolent to so many.

Texas has the most uninsured children of any state.

Texas has more children of any state.

Texas has either the second or third highest rate of food insecurity in the country at 18.5%. Arkansas and Mississippi are tied for first place with 19.2%.

You've just listed breadbasket states in which people grow a lot of their own food. Nobody starved.

From your link: "Deaths from child abuse and neglect in Texas soared 31 percent to 280 last fiscal year, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services."

Texas had 3 months of weather that was over 100 degrees, and there has never been a year like it in the entire written history of the state. Acclimated people as well as newcomers didn't realize just how hot it was, and how fast a child can die in a car while they just run into some place for a few minutes. You can point your finger and rant statistics all you want, but other places weren't this hot last year. There were days when it was over 115 degrees for several hours that year. And needless to mention, when the thermometer hits 95 degrees, road rage goes way up. People go nuts in hot weather when unpleasant goes over the top. It's called red hot mad.

Don't know why that is, it just is.

Not heat.

Despite the availability of late term abortion in substandard clinics.

So obviously, abortion for all doesn't reduce child abuse. Now can we quit pretending child abuse is related to abortion? Because if not, you will be forced to concede that the incidence of child abuse INCREASES with the incidence of abortion.

Nitwit.

Birth control works...no pregnancy no Abortion..very simple isn't it?

When used correctly, birth control can be very effective...which is why it must be taught about in schools....and provided free to anyone who needs it (like planned parenthood does).

There's no better birth control over a youth than parents who don't put up with adult sexual exploration by minors.

Did you just forget what it was like to be a teenager? Half the fun was doing stuff without the Wardens (AKA your parents) figuring it out.

CHild abuse is a completely subjective term.

Most of what my parents considered discipline back in the 1960's would be considered "child abuse" today.

And they thought what they did was kinder and gentler than what my grandparents did to them.

(Incidently, I don't think what my parents did to me was all that bad, other than exposing me to a goofy religion.)

Some people are actually raised with morals and standards, and restrain themselves from acting on every sexual urge...while they are still underage.

Not you, I'm sure. But other people. Those are the successful people. You know, you see them with their families in church and in the store...oh, wait, this is joe....You're right, joe. most of the drug addicted hookers who work in the porn industry didn't have a lot of control when they were underage.

But the world exists for other people too..even if you never see it.
