Another wing nut

Too much violence. Too many people with so much hatred in their hearts that they can't see past themselves.

*abortion clinic

This is insanity and evil. Pro-life, Pro-choice, doesn't matter. This human garbage should spend the rest of his life in prison!

No outrage over the tens of millions killed by these “health clinics”? Gotcha

Was it the doctor performing “abortions”?

You mean at an abortion clinic where they are killing babies ?

You misspelled butcher shop.

Smh. I shouldn't wish that. People doing things to others because they can or because of their own selfish reasoning regardless of a person's circumstances pisses me off. It shouldn't be that we can't have control over our own lives and bodies. There should be no ultimatum here.

Attempted murder at murder-ville...sickening. 🤮

Breaking News: Suicide is legal* if you do it right! Do it with class; don’t take others with you. *Okay, at least not criminally punishable.

Yes, because murder and mayhem solves everything! 😃😃😃👍👍👍

Seriously?

Very on brand.

'Pro-life' has a very different meaning to pretty much everyone except people who call themselves 'Pro-life'.
