Old guy trying to make sense of a world gone insane. In the words of that great philosopher, Pogo:

“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

The number of children and teens killed by gunfire in the United States increased 50% between 2019 and 2021.
FIFTY PERCENT. IN TWO YEARS. I keep pretty close tabs on these statistics and I had no idea it was that bad.

Anti-choice Republicans are obsessed with a fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you.

No neonatal care, no family leave, no day care, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food assistance, no education, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re important, if you’re preschool, you’re screwed. If you're older, they don't want you either and they want your healthcare, social security, and Medicare gone.

It they were really pro-life, these support systems would already be in place. They're not. I keep seeing conservative Christians claiming overturning Roe will "heal" the country. It will destroy it even further.
