I figured out a 16 that I could choose when and when not to have a baby by saying no to Tommy Doo Do Head, avoiding situations of rape, and waiting to for Mr. Provider and legit stays for any kids.
People did that for many centuries.
What makes the alternative so advanced?
I see friends’ kids, nieces and nephews into their thirties with partners. Their eyes glazed over. Same as my friends when they were in their twenties
Never was a Sales pitch.
Just a feeling...but I don’t think these people are going to enjoy their trip to The Great White Throne.
Unitarians. Social club. Not a religion.
I think it is a religion.
And abortion is its sacrament.
They were at a Unitarian Church. But if you keep reading: “Participants included the Rev. Jim Rigby of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, from center left in black; the Rev.

I left my ex-wife of 13 years in 2003 due to her insistence on becoming a “christian wiccan”... (I cannot in good conscience capitalize Christian when used with that term)
Care to take a guess where the coven held it’s ‘meetings’?
A unitarian ‘church’ in Morganton WV.
KILL THOSE BABIES, MOMS!! You’ve already MURDERED 66,000,000 of your OWN BABIES!!! GOD HELP YOUR SOULS!
