Attention Conservatives/Libertarians: paying for birth control/abortions/sterilizations for liberals is the biggest no-brainer in the history of the universe. It’s actual government money well-spent.

It’s a conservative’s dream world!
Change the laws so you can’t kill the fetus until AFTER it’s born!
Then, it’s GUNS FOR EVERYONE, with NO limits!

Have you been eavesdropping on Wayne’s phone calls?

Rightisright is still repeating his call for the deaths of liberals, whether through the revolution he says is overdue, or by hanging as he suggested for liberal media members. So much hate can’t be good for the digestion. I know reading his constant venom makes my stomach hurt.
I usually like Mr. Roger’s work, but this cartoon depicts one percent of one percent of gun owners and is a very gratuitous offering to those who are already angry at what a lack of sensible gun regulation has been perceived to have done.
In the past few months, I have held two newborns born into love and to parents well able and ready to receive them. It was an honor to do so.
The man depicted in the picture is of the ilk who went to Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita Kansas, approached the usher, Dr. George Tillman, and at the door to the church, with mothers, children, and other congregation there to celebrate God, killed him.
This is not Christian behavior. Believers are admonished that God will provide judgement, and all we are supposed to do is provide prayer. (Atheists, please just let your eyes glaze over and ignore this)
We cannot easily resolve the painful issue of abortion with the state our nation is in at this time. It is an impossible issue. We can help reduce the number of children, pregnant mothers, and other humans killed by guns with some very easy, very sensible laws.
I suggest we focus on those issues we can address before we force our will on behalf of issues we cannot.
Respectfully,
C.

Before Roe v. Wade, the number one killer of women was botched abortions done in back alleys. Now abortion is provided by qualified doctors, and it’s not in the top 100. Why go back? To make gun deaths look less serious?

New NRA motto: the only answer to a “bad” baby with a gun is a “good” baby with a gun.

“Arm the zygotes”? How did you guess the title of the latest Star Wars movie? Boy, you’re good!!

Arming physicians who perform abortions is the more sensible tactic.
