Need abortion ban

Fri., July 1, 2016

According to the World Health Organization, 3,000 humans are killed every day in the USA through abortion. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 92 humans per day die from firearms.

Yet all I ever hear people screeching is “Ban the guns.” Seems to me we’re trying to ban the wrong thing.
