Abortion:
The only word
that can make
followers of Jesus
vote against everything
Jesus ever talked about
because of one issue
that Jesus never talked about.

I really never liked his stand-up, nor his bits when he appeared on various VH-1 nostalgia programs, but his political humor is absolutely savage. He's definitely found his stride, and we're better off because of it.

I also ask them since repugs are so against abortion, every time they have the W.H. and control
both houses of congress (like trump had his first 2 years) what laws have they passed to outlaw
abortion? Can you name me one republican congress person who even introduced any legislation
to outlaw abortion? Sure it isn't just a "talking point" during elections?

bounties on our troops or Americans. According to Covid-19 tracking.com US deaths are @ 154,947+++. And he doesn't care, but does care about abortions & packing the courts with conservatives. It just seems like he's always trying to cause trouble & drama, bully, manipulate, intimidate, divide & just be a nasty corrupt individual!

12. Because Abortion is about Control of Women. They want to ban abortion as a way to control women

Abortion rights and other birth control means more freedom for women and they hate that.

None of it has to do with being pro life.

it's not bad. But if you try to use this as an argument with an evangelical, you will get your Socratic ass handed to you in short order.

I have long since given up trying to convince any of those people of anything. Just gotta vote them out, make them irrelevant.
