Women who don’t want to be pregnant, don’t want to be pregnant. Want to end abortion? Empower women, not men. Free easily accessible birth control, sex Ed, support for young families, and hold men responsible.

I am a pediatrician and have been fighting for sensible gun law for a while. I lost 3 children to gun violence. So, useful info to discuss guns: An AR 15 is an “Armalite rifle,”after the manufacturer Armalite. Not an assault rifle.

“Guns don’t shoot people, people shout people”? That’s why we want background checks on the people, not the guns.

“Car accidents kill more people than guns”? Yes, that’s why we require lessons, a license, registration, and insurance. Also why we have tragic law to regulate their use.

Biden broke OPEC. So much for his “dementia.” 😆😆😆 He refilled our reserves and made $582 BILLION in profit for the US. And he did it without paying off MBS. And, by doing it, he brought gas prices down. Biden rules.

If they talk about there already being background checks? Only licensed gun dealers are required to do them, and reporting is not mandatory. We need universal background checks with mandatory reporting.

The problem is the high velocity bullets (they go through a child’s body so rapidly that they destroy tissue 6 inches around a bullet entry), and high capacity magazines (more than 10 bullets in a magazine is not necessary unless you want to kill humans). Use those terms.

It is generally impossible to sue gun manufacturers (although one case recently did succeed), and was against the law for the CDC to fund any research into gun violence - very unusual restrictions passed purely to protect gun manufacturers. We lost decades of research

@bigskybabs @SharonShaman About 20% of pregnancies spontaneously abort, generally because the fetus isn’t developing normally. I don’t think we have the prison space, especially if we jail the docs too. Of course we’re not considering the dads responsible at all, so that will leave some space...
