Now I know that accidents can happen and we shouldn't judge others, even though some of these RED states believe they have a pipeline to God. But isn't it interesting that apparently teenagers in these RED states are engaging in sexual intercourse!! and apparently because they don't believe in planned parenthood without protection. tsk, tsk. But they dare judge us?
