Ok ready to read about VA disgracefully doing abortions???! And where is the article???
While you sponsor “The League” to protect second amendment rights and a military whose training primarily involves killing or be killed, it obviously doesn’t occur to you that a medical procedure to protect lives of rape, incest victims and women, is being criticized by you, rendering you totally unfit to make ANY decisions for anyone.
You are killing God’s babies.
False info when I canโt read what is put out there on my phone. Have tried to access this article to no avail! Government censorship???
