Dear Readers, Last night, someone accused me of being complicit in abortion. She said that because I support a candidate who supports abortion I am complicit and committing a grave sin. Just hours later my husband received a picture comparing him to Nazi's. After hearing things like this a million times during the last election,... Continue Reading →
