If I was discussing ethnicity it probably should be "Paul Ryan hates Latino babies," since a majority of Latinos in the data self-report or are listed as "white."
Ryan and his conservative contingent of cads want babies to go hungry, while he promotes more tax pork for the wealthy. His "Path to Prosperity" plan should more aptly be named "The Ryan Path to Poverty."
They want millions of babies, infants and pregnant moms to go hungry.
During Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, the number of women, infants, and children receiving WIC benefits each month reached approximately 9.17 million. For the first 8 months of FY 2011, States reported average monthly participation just below 9 million participants per month. In 1974, the first year WIC was permanently authorized, 88,000 people participated. By 1980, participation was at 1.9 million; by 1985, 3.1 million; by 1990, 4.5 million; and by 2000, 7.2 million. Average monthly participation for FY 2008 was approximately 8.7 million.Ryan has three children—Elizabeth Anne, Charles Wilson and Samuel Lowery.Children have always been the largest category of WIC participants. Of the 9.17 million people who received WIC benefits each month in FY 2010, approximately 4.86 million were children, 2.17 million were infants, and 2.14 million were women.
Romney has five—Taggart, Matthew, Joshua, Benjamin and Craig.
They had the privilege of never knowing hunger as infants. Those born without that privilege are scapegoated and targeted. You would think that being a parent would give them some empathy for other parents, and children, but it is clear that "empathy" is not a word, or ideal in the Republican lexicon. Unless it applies to eggs and fetuses.
Right now the media is awash in stories about rape and Republican insanity forcing women to give birth—all under their banner of touting "life." This of course is rank hypocrisy writ large. You cannot be "pro-life" if you don't give a damn about the lives of the living.
I remember George Carlin's words on this:
