Less Respect Than A Dog Gets Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 5, 2017

The abortion supporter treats the unborn child with less respect than they would demand for a puppy.

Thursday of Fifth Week in Course Joy of the Gospel This Gospel is one for the thoughtless atheist to seize and wring out for every drop of abuse of the Catholic truth.
