Torturing Language to Kill Humans
By Laurie Higgins   |   06.20.19

Letter Exposes Bigoted, Anti-Liberty and Anti-Life Attitudes of Leftists
By Laurie Higgins   |   05.21.19
How does opposition to human slaughter—including the slaughter of about 440,000 female humans annually—constitute "contempt and misogynistic views toward women"? And are the 36% of women who oppose abortion in "all or most cases" as revealed in a Pew Forum poll guilty of contempt for women and misogyny? Frank asked why "so many white Republican male legislators willfully rule that women carry a fetus to full term in cases of rape or incest." That's an easy-peasy question to answer...

By Laurie Higgins   |   05.07.19
Before you watch the video below, get yourself a bucket into which you can spit those nails.This video was taken by unhinged, self-righteous, virtue-signaling, illogical, morally vacuous, anti-Catholic, homosexual activist Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia) while for over eight minutes, he harasses an elderly woman who is praying the rosary in front of a Planned Parenthood abattoir, repeatedly calling her actions shameful, disgusting, and grotesque.
