Pro-life consistency

A number of Republican state representatives want to cut Planned Parenthood funding for abortion counseling. If they cut this funding, they need to add an amendment to the bill that ends the death sentence in Kentucky.

These representatives are willing to bring people into this world only to end their lives later. Is this not the definition of irony? While they’re at it, add another amendment that states that Kentuckians cannot have children 18 years before war is waged.
