Commandments were clear

Sun., July 7, 2019

In the Ten Commandments, God said, “Thou shalt not kill.” No ifs, no ands, no buts, just the butt heads who today are proposing and working on bills to end the lives of sweet, innocent babies. One or more of them may be the doctor who would save your life, congressman. For shame! If this so-called bill passes, then I think the whole country is headed in a jet plane to crash into a mountain.
