There is no RIGHT to abortion. There are Court legislated Privileges for women to murder their babies wherever they are.

Biden, human debris that he is lied to the face of Clarence Thomas. Thomas had nothing at all complimentary to say about Biden in his autobiography

Life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness ends after the sex.

Once abortion was injected into our system as "law",the country rapidly went into decline.
