    The Heart beat of an Innocent child.
    Thank you

    Abortion has been fetishized by the Left.
    The sacrifice of children has been a practice of all cultures and civilizations before the Advent of Christianity, specifically Catholicism.
    Always under the aegis of high minded ideas – rain, good crops, protection from enemies, etc.
    Now it is so women can have a “career and travel “.
    Demonic.

    God bless the humanity-loving people of the Mat-Su Valley. The children are the future and we need to protect our future!
