As I sit in the backyard working on a story, I look around at the mowed grass and pretty flowers and smile. I also think, "Thank goodness, I don't have to do any of this!" No, I didn't hire anyone, per se. I live in a Townhouse Community. westchestercounty.momcollective.com/westchester/10…

Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life". And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan. So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.

If only those school shooting victims were embryos, then maybe we could get Republicans to give a damn about them.

They will do anything to defend the right of a few cells at conception to live but they don’t talk about kids as they grow older and certainly not about gun violence that kill so many people.

If men had to go through a pregnancy for 9 months, give birth and breast feed, there would not even be a discussion about outlawing abortion.

MAGA Mindset: Bringing a mask to school won’t kill anyone. But they want them banned cuz it costs them freedom. Bringing a gun to school WILL kill. But they DON’T want them banned cuz that’s the price of freedom… Understand? I don’t 😢
