The illegal[sic] bill has passed, and here’s what will happen: children lost, abused and exploited

The new law will not act as the deterrent the government says it will – it just puts more vulnerable people in harm’s way

I don't really buy that . I'm a materialist. Money talks, bullshit walks. When billionaires fund unimaginably cruel policies, I think the cruelty is a *tactic*, a way to get the turkeys to vote for Christmas. After all, policies that grow the fortune of the 1% at the expense of the rest of us have a natural 99% disapproval rating.

"South Carolina Republicans float the death penalty for abortion"
