First they came for the\u00a0communists<\/a>,

The anti-women, anti-birth control, anti-freedom of religion people have taken over government at the National and State levels.<\/p>\n

then they decided \u00a0to redefine rape,<\/strong><\/p>\n

then they are not allowing abortions in the case of the LIFE of the mother.<\/strong><\/p>\n

then they voted on Friday to defund birth control\/pap smears\/STD testing, <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now they have declared open season on killing abortion providers <\/strong><\/p>\n
