Excuse me? I, my dear, am the Queen Mother. You may be an underling or something, but I am the Queen.
I have roots to prove it.
BABIES ARE PEOPLE AND DESERVE TO LIVE FROM THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION!!! Anybody have a problem with that?
You can rule death by ignorance as lame...I'll pass on sticking my foot in my mouth1
You left yourself wide open on that one, Granny! LOL! You have roots alright...
*****BABIES ARE PEOPLE AND DESERVE TO LIVE FROM THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION!!! Anybody have a problem with that?*****
I have NO problem with that! Absolutely, positively TRUE! *****
You'd rather gripe about choice than examine your conscience and make the moral decision. In short--you are for violent death of innocent individuals under the dishonest label of "choice."
Why not mercy and selflessness? Why not promote responsibility for behavior? Why not show a bit of love toward those who can't speak for themselves?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Sorry, this one's long past those days...
I'm a woman. I choose life for that little one growing in the womb. It is, after all, a life. If it wasn't a life, abortion wouldn't be a topic, would it?
If good, decent adults don't stand up for that innocent defenseless baby, who will? He/she can't. I'm sure, I'm absolutely SURE, that if given the choice that baby wouldn't want to be ripped apart, limb by limb. And I'll betcha you don't want that to happen, either.
You don't know? What...do you reside in a cave, sir...er, mam...er, it? :o)
Psssst. Hey Brad's Gramma/aka the Queen (in her dreams) ...J.R.R. Tolkien doesn't know what a root is. Can you kindly explain it to him/her/it?
Also HERE if the posted pic gets pulled.
The Queen has spoken.
Where does it say I adovocate murder?
Don't put words in my mouth by letting your anger over-run your wisdom!
