What makes you think BainsBane May 2017 #15

So, the progressives have changed their list of priorities so that they no longer support women. Kirkwood May 2017 #17

We've seen endorsements of three anti-choice candidates BainsBane May 2017 #26

Where did I say that you shouldn't worry about equal rights? Kirkwood May 2017 #30
