I Am Anti-American, Anti-Christian, I Voted For Trump

Wow, these Democrats who met in Chicago and unveiled a campaign of Joy and Hope pledged to be the great unifiers and heal the divide of the last sixteen years.

On How Abortion Saved Stefany Shaheen’s Life

Those who have had an abortion know the truth and the difference between a Dilatation and Curettage (D&C for miscarriage) and abortion. Ms. Shaheen and I share vastly different experiences at the precious Oyster River School system we both attended. At 15, I got pregnant with my high school sweetheart. I had no idea when it happened.
