Blessed by Whom?

Today in The Spokesman-Review an article (“Restrictive abortion laws draw opposition at rally,” May 22) mentions a woman at a pro-abortion rally in Spokane stating she was blessed in becoming pregnant after Roe v. Wade passed so she could terminate (abort) her pregnancy (baby). Blessed by whom? It surely wasn’t God!

Today, we have a political party plotting to impeach an elected president that did not collude with the Russians, that has done more for our country than the past several presidents. He has supported our religious freedom, economy, record employment and low unemployment for all minorities and women, is trying to stop the theft of our economy and technology by China, and is standing up to worldwide threats to our freedom. Our president is trying to secure our borders to prevent the flood of illegals, terrorists, drugs, cartel-controlled human traffickers that threaten our country and with a border policy that Democrats love while insisting on treating illegals better than our own citizens.

We have to wonder, is the leftist politician being paid by the cartels to prevent our borders to be secure? We already know the illegal tactics used by various agencies during the Obama administration and continuing today with the Democratic Party that surely will be exposed during the next few months.
