Sunday Funday: Mother’s Day Edition

Rant ON:

This may come as a surprise to most MAGAs, but every human ever on earth had a mother. That mother was also human and a female. As a human, every mother deserves all the rights that any other human deserves. Mothers and all women are not simply breeding stock to be used as some animal. Women are human and as such have rights and also needs. Claiming to be “pro-life” should not end at a baby’s birth but also include the nutrition, education and shelter for that child and its mother. Rant OFF!
