It is not my right or anyone else’s to make a personal decision. Rape and incest are not even excluded. There will be a bill in the House as soon as they return. Republicans are making themselves as despicable as they can.

You can kill a child though. Open carry without a permit is now allowed in Texas. I would not live in Texas or Florida if they gave me a mansion!

Spellcheck adds changes as I post!
