I went to frat parties at Ball State University in the 1990s. I know exactly what’s happening in the White House.

His mother was on life support at a local Detroit hospital.
Harmon was able to tell his mom he got drafted on Thursday night before she died.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

We @libdems.org.uk forced a vote for a 'Crumbling Hospitals Taskforce'. It's a shame the Govt doesn't understand the urgency of our situation.
