ABORTION PRETEXT

I hope we are wrong, but the way we see Priebus and other Koch puppets, most of them in the Teapublican Party, it makes the following more credible: the anti-abortion movement is not solely, perhaps not even mainly, based on the moral compass of anti-abortionists and anti-Planned Parenthood.
