I assume the protestors profess to be Pro Life Christians. The fact that they want to spread a horrible disease because of haircuts and use guns to emphasize their ire is quite the opposite of what they say they believe. They say the fetus needs to be protected, shouldn’t the 95,000 dead have had the same right???

Thanks, Google! As monopolies go, I might not ever love you quite the way I loved Ma Bell, but I do enjoy our time together.
