"sanctity of life"

(only applies to fetuses, though)

They don't even care about the fetus though, it's just an excuse to oppress women.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

“Oppress women = get votes. I doubt they even care to control women. They know their inbred voters do though. So they’re all in.

I think it's time to change the American National Anthem to "Another One Bites the Dust".

America: Only thing less valuable than the lives of our kids are the lives of foreign kids!

[–] tym@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can we actually expect 2100 more children to receive a gunshot wound this year?

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

good house with a gun could've prevented this

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's utter fucking ridiculous!

The 12 year old should have had a gun so she could've shot the incoming bullet.

[–] Case@unilem.org 2 points 1 year ago

What kinda crap is this?

By 12 they should have a katana and the training to merely cut the bullet in half.

Florida is really not having a good go of things. Christ
