Congressional Candidate Trolls Anti-Choice Group With Condoms
An anti-choice Christian group recently sent a letter to congressional candidate James Woods (D-AZ) urging him to support the “sanctity of life” — life of the unborn, duh, not of women who are endangered by severe anti-abortion measures! — and his response was glorious.
The anti-abortion group in question, the National Pro-Life Alliance (NPLA), is exceptionally batshit. According to the group’s mission statement — which refers to abortion as “the wanton taking of human life” and fetuses as “precious unborn babies” — their goals include defining “personhood” as beginning at the moment of conception and repealing “that dreadful Roe v.
