Life begins at first breath. Abortion restrictions violate the 1st Amendment. Trans rights are human rights. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump - the Axis of Evil. An #EnemyWithin

The Bible is Silent on Abortion, but Vocal about When Life Begins - TheTorah.com
Egyptian and Mesopotamian abortion-inducing recipes attest to the practice of abortion in the ancient Near East. While the Middle Assyrian Laws prohibit the practice, the Torah offers no ruling. Never...
www.thetorah.com
"the Bible does not clearly condemn abortion; it simply does not rule on it. It does, however, unequivocally demonstrate, within its own cultural constructions, that a woman’s life was considered to have more value than that of an unborn fetus, and that life begins at first breath."

The American people deserve to know about their president's health. How many times a dsay does he change his diaper? What's wrong with his arms that they have to put the IVs into the back of his hands?

Child-Rapist and all around Piece of Shit Donald Trump says, "Everyone just needs to get over The Epstein Files." That's what this Criminal actually said. We should tell the Survivors of Rape and Trafficking to just get over it? I'll bet he wants us to stop digging. He's the Rapist/Trafficker.

Good Morning Yall, let’s show love to Gloria Richardson, civil rights activist who was a key leader in the Cambridge movement. That movement led to desegregation in all of Maryland in the 60’s. After this Gloria would later move to Harlem and continued to work on civil and economic development.
