Reason #7,836,297 Republicans Are Sick Bastards

Protecting rats and household property instead of children:

The battle over how to regulate rat poison started in August 1998 when the Clinton administration approved its use as long as manufacturers added a bittering agent and a dye that made it more obvious if a child ingested the poison. Three years later, Bush administration officials rescinded the requirements, on the grounds that they would make the poison less attractive to rats and could damage household property.

Rat poison accidents are on the rise, according to U.S. poison-control centers, and they disproportionately involve African American and Latino children.

Abortion = bad. Kids dying of rat poisoning = okay. Ah, the culture of life.
