Just when we thought we had been divided in every way possible... [View all]

Along comes Donald Trump to talk about Doctors and Mothers wrapping the baby in beautiful clothes before they decide to execute "it".

As if it is an enjoyable Sunday stroll in the park.

As if he has become the arbiter of what is right and moral in this country.

As if these women are somehow less than human.

As if it is an easy decision when a young girl or woman is raped, to decide to carry to term that child.

As if it is an easy decision when a child becomes pregnant by a member of her family.

These self-righteous moralizers have always used abortion as a political issue when they have felt trouble coming in the next election. Is that what is happening here?

It is painfully obvious that Donald Trump will use any issue possible to divide our country.

It is despicable.
