It wasn’t a building. It was a potential building (construction). What’s the problem? And they weren’t going to harm any lives there, just potential lives (preborn).

(I hate the “not a life, a potential life” argument. So idiotic.)

However it started, we know from BLM that property damage from fire is no big deal. Insurance will cover it.

Oh gee.

What a shame.

I never knew that not being able to kill babies was a huge loss for a community.
