Speakout
(Opinion ~ 06/02/21)
I can’t understand why there has to be a law for abortion or against abortion. That is plum crazy. Abortion is murder and if women are married they should use birth control if they don’t wanna have a baby. If they’re not married they should keep their panties on and then they won’t get pregnant and want to kill an innocent baby. Abortion is murder and one of these days they is gonna meet their maker and if they’ve killed an innocent child they’ll probably hear about it.
