Prayer without works is dead, so the so-called pro-life party can take their thoughts and prayers and shove them. Gun control is the answer, not thoughts and prayers.

Republican lawmakers donโ€™t care about your children, dead or alive. They only care about campaign contributions from the gun companies and the NRA. ๐Ÿค” Republican lawmakers are responsible for all children killed by guns in America. Their deaths all lead back to Republican gun policies.
