there aren't many Catholics who are pro choice. When they start talking about banning abortion my go to argument for them is; why is it that the countries that have the strictest laws banning abortion also have some of the highest rates of abortion? There answer to me is to call me a liar. I tell them to use their Google machine.

I ask them, rather than push for laws banning abortion why don't we make adoption easier? Why don't we do a better job with sex education? Why don't we make contraceptives more available? Why don't we elect a president who has some morals who can serve as an example for all of us?

You've spoken truth.

But waiting to be set free isn't enough.

The propaganda of those who would own us must be fought every moment of every day.

If you can be made desperate enough, you will gladly work yourself to death for a pittance and the tiny hope for another day to do it again.

Plutocracy in the making.
