I hope that some pro-lifers told the those pro-abortion people that there’s no such thing as a “safe abortion,” since they’re always unsafe for the baby.

I always seek to replace the term abortion with a more precise term that describes the outcome.

Baby execution.

Well, unfortunately, that's nothing to sneeze at.

In older pagan cultures the term was "child sacrifice". They were slaughtered and offered to the gods for wealth, selfishness and personal gain. Same thing today.

At least the auditorium was half empty and tax dollars don't seem to have been much involved.

Something else to consider before purchasing his company’s bug infested software.
