To make matters worse, not one other person stood up for her. Not one.

I remember coming home from school and telling my mom Columbus "discovered" America. She told me it was a load of crap, and set me straight. Mom was a hippie who challenged the status quo. At the time, it embarrassed me, I'd get frustrated and just wanted her to be like the other parents.
I realized later how lucky I was, and do the same with my daughter.

Perfect.
I wish hell existed, just for people like that monster.

Alt-text: Social media post comparing historical witch trials to modern abortion laws. Transcribed Text: Jane of the North @JaneotN They used to throw women in the water to see if they were witches. If they drowned, they were innocent. Now they're saying the only abortion exception is if the woman's life is at risk. If she dies, she was at risk. You can see the recurring flaw in the methodology.
