They don't even care about fetuses. It's about controlling women JI7 May 2018 #9

who view precious children as expendable are predators, not any less than any monster who puts his molesting hands on a child.

FFS, these people are despicable. How the fuck can you be pro-life and so cavalier about living children?

Oh, they're brown, immigrant children. They aren't as important as white fetuses - how silly of me to confuse the two.

That is what he said. When I watched this yesterday I almost lost it. AND he even had the nerve to say there aren't 1,500 missing, really there are thousands MORE than that amount. He said this with sincerity and as if it was OK. Unbelievable!

it was discovered the state of Kansas DCF had done the same thing-lost track of 70+ foster children. Sadly I have a feeling many states DCF lose track of foster children, so I’m not surprised the federal government has lost track of immigrant children. It’s disgusting this happens and that they are separating immigrant children from their parents when they cross the border. This practice is pure evil.

He is a political non-entity, and has nothing to offer. Yet they still give him an outlet for his drool.

There are not 1500 kids missing. Listen to the latest edition of "The Weeds" podcast if you want to understand where this number comes from. It's also from 2014, so Trump has nothing to do with it. It's not real though.

HOWEVER the taking children from their parents is a real story. We need to focus on that!!!!!!
