The liberal party submitted a bill:
"For
the well being of the state, the youth of our nation need a healthy
society. In addition to existing programs of contraception and family
planning, additional social services will provide food, shelter, and
care for children in need."
The conservative party was outraged.
"It stinks!" the senator shouted, "Your slimy scheme should slip us into
Socialism!" A poll was tallied, and totaled: A tie.
The conservative party submitted a bill:
"For
the well being of families, the youth of our nation need a healthy
home. In lieu of existing programs of contraception and family planning,
additional family services will provide food, shelter, and care for
children in need. In God we trust."
The liberals fumed with indignant frustration,
"You propose to impose your persuasion!"
The conservatives chided, "Your sinister quarrels
Are attacking our nation's high morals!"
Both bills were shot down, the first and the latter, and the debate rages on to this day.
Though principles come with a cost, both parties agree:
It's a price that the people can pay.
