2. Hurting humans is easy for bullies

Who don’t care nor know how to help the citizenry. When the fruit of doge comes to be, magas will be scratching their heads when they stroll the produce aisle. They’ll wonder what went wrong when their daughter dies of a botched abortion in a motel room. They won’t remember who they voted for.

4. Oh, a few MAGAs will be able to draw lines and make the right connections

Of course it will be too late for the darlings they’ mourn and bury, as well as the hundreds of thousands of their movement’s victims.

7. They'll blame it on Democrats. eom

3. The deaths and illnesses of America's poorest mothers and children

will be on the heads of Republican politicians and the so-called “Family values” “pro-life” movement.

5. Oregon, Washington, California & New York will need to step up to fund PP.

People in the medieval states will need to fly or drive to those States for care.

6. It's going to be embarrassing when Mexico and other Latin

countries have lower maternal and infant death rates than we do.
