@cspan @AOC What Rep @AOC missed an opportunity to do is to say, "This degrades us all. It is a degradation of humanity in general and should not happen." He cheapened what it means to be a man. He hurt not just little girls in her district, but little boys, too. The focus was too narrow.

My sister just passed away. She was #4 daughter of 5 and #4 child of 9. She taught me how to manage money and it saved my life. Who you please pray for her soul ask the angels to greet her in Paradise? She struggled so much.

We, in the pro-life movement, will regret how this all went down. We embraced an authoritarian party that is more interested in power than love. Love does not insist on its own way. McConnell and all the court stacking and gerrymandering to consolidate power will turn on us.
