There are awful situations, in which the law can be excluded. Abortion should be illegal, excluding when it dangers the mother, or when the pregnant mother is raped. The sad thing is, the government is making money of killing people. That sounds like a huge anti-government conspiracy theory, but it is true.…

Roe and…
