Why do so many rightwingers focus so much on what other adults do with their bodies?

Question

It's like they fixate on below the belt issues that concern others, and they overlook or refuse to acknowledge more serious problems.
--Example: Think of all the energy and time they spend ranting against gay rights; if only they'd pay half as much attention to some of the unwanted and neglected poor children in a nearby city, all of whom are the result of heterosexual activity.
--Another example: They'd decide their vote based on the candidate's "pro-life" rhetoric. They campaign so strongly against abortion, but don't lift a finger to help so many children without healthcare or loving homes. They vote for the politician who speaks against abortion, but cuts funding to programs that help poor children.
--3. They interfere in law-abiding gay adults' affairs by going to anti-gay rallies or preaching against "home-sexshuls"
The larger issue they don't pay attention to anymore is rampant (usually) heterosexual child abuse. Or how girls are treated in Africa, Asia, or Utah.

I see how rightwingers don't read carefully and see everything in all or nothing terms. I do salute churches that help people with their suffering, although it is often (not always) conditional love. I know gay groups that help people too, like children born with AIDS or born addicted to crack. Would you adopt a little black baby? There's not such a shortage of them. If I'm out of touch with "reality" it may be because I lived in NYC so long and saw a different reality than folks in the suburbs and small towns of the country see.
I'd like to see proof with stattistics that "millions" of women suffer traumatic stress after an abortion. If the righties didn't fight equally hard against condoms, birth control, or the morning after pill for those who are not smart enough not to get pregnant when they're not ready, more abortions could be prevented. Surely abortion is not a GOOD thing or a good memory for any woman, but I care more about the millions of neglected children..

And, no, I didn't say that the poor are all neglecting their children. I mean that all the neglected children are in some way "poor". .

Answer 1

Because they ain't gittin' any themselves so they want to be the bosses of what everyone else is doing. It's a control issue.

Answer 2

First of all, homosexuals are also the product of heterosexual activity - so get off your high horse. ALL citizens - gay or straight - have the right to their own beliefs and to speak out on any issue they see fit... whether you like it or NOT. Our great country was founded on Christian beliefs and principles, so holding life in high regard is a traditional value that the majority of citizens support. Not all poor children are neglected - making such an assumption is biased and bigoted of you. I don't see any gay organizations helping poor children - as many Christian churches and other organizations do. As for children without health care, there are federal and state programs to provide such assistance for poor children. There's shortage of children to be adopted, thanks to millions being aborted. What about the millions of girls and women who are suffering post-abortion tramatic stress? There are caring Christian groups that reach out to them to help them heal. Child abuse - whether it is heterosexual or homosexual - is a serious subject that I hope no one takes lightly and the perverts - be they straight or gay - should be castrated and hung as far as I'm concerned. You're totally out of touch with reality. It's pathetic, but of all the people I've ever met, LGBT liberals are the least tolerant of other people's opinions and beliefs -- and the least caring for those who are the poorest and weakest in our society.

Answer 3

I agree. Some things do not need to be discussed openly in front of people who don't care about knowing such things about others. Gays? Whatever they do to themselves and with others is their business and I don't want to be barraged with their preferences. I do believe in pro-choice, but I don't believe in abortion as birth control. Child abuse is reprehensible period. I don't introduce myself to someone new as heterosexual so why should a homosexual think it's proper to bring sexual preference into a simple introduction between two people? Obsession comes in many forms. I'd like to think I spend my time and energy on something better such as the common good for all mankind.

Answer 4

It's because they're the party of "personal responsibility" for the privacy of others.

Answer 5

I think cons were born that way. Parental genes and upbringing had something to do with it. For them, it was always about me not them.
