Mollycoddling is getting us killed
I understand about mollycoddling, but you sound just like those people who think the world is better off without all those “unwanted” babies and are for abortion on demand even to the moment of birth, and some, beyond that, even.
I really doubt that America is better off without this young lady. I don’t care if she’s a Democrat’s daughter. Her life was still valuable and precious. I guess that’s my opinion, though, and you are certainly entitled to yours.
