In reply to the discussion: Acosta proposing 80% funding cuts for the government agency that combats child sex trafficking. [View all]Enoki33

At first I didn't want to believe it because it seemed too horrible to imagine.

You know, the war on women is sickeningly, disgustingly, horrifyingly REAL.
