We are bad

We do not deserve to be Loved by God

We will not be Redeemed

The story went viral among pro-abortion commentators. But now, Bernard "is under fire for either making up this story or not reporting a child rape to authorities, which she is required to do as a mandated reporter,” PJ Media reports. “Failure to do so could result in Bernard losing her medical license.” Additionally, further digging revealed that Bernard has allegedly failed to report other rape cases in the past
