    Or only allow abortions to be post-natal and via firearm?

    They're going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they'll start using that to target people they don't like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you're on the "dangerous person's list" now "dangerous people" can't hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a "mental health" hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their "discretion" to put anyone they don't like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you're "mentally unhealthy" don't believe in God? Believe it or not "mental health problems" not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can't allow the "mentally unhealthy people" to procreate! So we'll have to sterilize them. Of course they can't be trusted, so we'll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them "jobs" at the "mental health" camps!

    A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for "post natal abortions"©

    Fun part: every parent gets to play.

    I like how America's culture comes up to putting angry messages on cars.

    Only 50? IIRC that's a marked improvement from recent previous years.

    they don't care about kids. they don't care about life. they care about controlling women. I first heard George Carlin say "pro-life is just anti-woman" when i was a kid, and didn't really understand very well. but now it's so clear.

    Wait until they hear about the dozens of schools bombed in palestine as part of usa sponsored genocide.

    Violence is deeply instilled and normalized in the history, culture and especially the state of our genocidal society.

    Anybody else misread that exclamation point as excited at first? A little horrifying, NGL.
