Two Michael Moore Quotes of the Day

"Who's really being removed by ICE tonight?" Moore asked. "The child who would've discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?" "For every time I have heard a negative word or blatant hatred spewed toward those who came from afar, I have felt that I should pause, get down on one knee, and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us."

Since Roe v. Wade there have been over 60 million abortions in the US. One has to wonder if Mr. Moore's concerns over migration, meteors, cancer cures, and 9th-grade nerds extend to those in the womb.

The generation alphabet name game since Roe v. Wade, X, Z, as well as Millennials all have one thing in common. I call all of them survivors.

    What about the illegal alien that pushed some kid that would have cured cancer in front of a train? The What-If game has endless possibilities. What about the kid that would have stopped WWIII had Michael Moore not eaten so much food?

    To them aborted kids are all unwanted who will contribute nothing to society and be a burden to us all.
