66. Well, they see the word "abortion" as a euphemism for the "m" word
Thu Jun 13, 2024, 02:42 PM
Jun 2024

"m" is a behavior of humans that is criminal everywhere I have taken time to look. The "they" are leveraging that to take advantage of what they see as nearly global support for their sentiment. Of course not every nation that recognizes "m" calls abortion and/or contraception "M"

It's going to get worse as "they" control many legislatures willing to pass "Personhood" from conception and they've gained significant influence on the Judiciary.

As the states start adding into a significantly long list there will be greater and greater efforts to pass federal laws on personhood.
