Okay, so I live in Florida (sanctity of life)

If a woman is brutally raped, left for dead, and becomes pregnant as a result, she would be forced under the Republican plank to bring the child to term--against her will.

But if that same woman is carrying a gun and is approached by someone in a manner in which she feels 'threatened' she can cap the person, and would not be charged.

Huh?

to protect themselves. I know this because it has happened before.

But in theory, yes, you do have the right to use deadly force against a born assailant. You do not have the right to protect yourself against an unborn assailant, which is what an unwanted pregnancy is, threatening a woman's health, livelihood, social support system and life.

These men seem to think that because a process is natural, it is risk free. It is not.

It's all God's plan. Haven't you heard. Apparently, the Republican's version of God hates women too.

If she is a black woman, she will be charged, prosecuted, sent to prison and her 5 kids left motherless
