We are dying.

Parents’ hearts are broken and dripping with pain.

Again.

All because angry white men want their killing machines.

When will it end?

When will the needs of the many finally outweigh the wants of the few?

Our nation weeps.

Again.

Your thoughts and prayers will not dry tears, much less heal us.

You scream your “pro-life” rhetoric, but what about these babies? The ones who lived and breathed and laughed?

Where is the fervor you use to make laws to control women’s bodies under the guise of protecting life?

Where is your passion for changing laws that would actually save children?

The desperate need to keep the control and power in the hands of those who harm us is killing us.

We are in our most desperate hour.
