Abortion Supporters Defend Dumping A Live Baby In A Dumpster ~

In the vehemence to not block any abortion services — whether obtained legally, within the bounds of the law, or not, whether it’s even safe for the mother herself or not — we have people defending a woman’s choice to leave a baby to die, alone, in a dumpster.

Defense Department: The Bible, Constitution And Declaration Of Independence All Perpetuate Sexism ~ We know the Left’s assault on America’s foundation is relentless, but this is coming from our own damn (pardon me) government! ~

According to a Defense Department-approved “sexism course,” the Bible, the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence all contribute to modern sexism. 😯
 
Those three cherished texts all count as “historical influences that allow sexism to continue,” according to a presentation prepared by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, whose mission is to give a “world-class human relations education.”
