This week is never ending. On Thursday we watched as domestic terrorists blockaded an abortion facility in Washington, DC. We are finally hearing more news about 40 Days for Life hired security who pepper sprayed pro-choice supporters in California, but still no justice. And we are rolling into the weekend, (maybe watching Borat’s new flick?!), while we think about how Amy Coney Barrett’s anti-abortion vitriol is only matched by her racism.
