Damn this is scary

HCR writes- "There they have banned abortion without exceptions and defined a fertilized human egg as a person; discriminated against LGBTQ+ people and immigrants, banned books, attacked public education, and gutted business regulation, including child labor laws."

Last month, the results of a study showed, that in the Maganazi states that have virtually banned abortion, 64000 rapes resulted in pregnancies. These states have virtually stopped prosecuting rape so they can raise their birth rates. What they fail to understand, is that unwanted babies are the criminals of tomorrow. Why did the violent crime rate drop so substantially In the early 1990's? According to the authors of Freakanomics, it was because abortion was legalized. Fewer unwanted children = fewer criminals.

So many find it easy just to turn their heads and look the other way! The few who do worry find overcoming the complacency of others is a difficult task!

I canтАЩt avoid seeing it, and my dad and one brother canтАЩt either. None of my family can stand Trump, and they all see him for the charlatan he is.

Anthony, overcoming the complacency of others is one thing. Trying to inform the people who are lusting for the return of fpotus is something else all together.

I agree, Barb. At the moment, my only recourse is VOTE BLUE! The GOP has been hijacked and we must prevail against these scary billionaires. We must weaponize our VOTE! I shudder to recall Gore's loss to Bush which means we are fragile even if we win. :(

Yes, Barb, damn right; this is very, very scary.

This needs to be read and understood by more Americans than just the readers of Letters from an American.
