Weird way to phrase “school shootings” but that’s one way to tackle the gun problem. Reframe it

Trump and many other Republicans also say this ridiculous statement.

Maybe he can be the first to experience it then.

And, I really doubt that any states ever have allowed that.

Considering "post-birth abortion" isn't a thing and never has been, you'd likely be right.

Can we make a new rule, such that if a GOPer says it, we assume it is false unless and until they provide a significant level of proof to go along with their statement. Then if that proof can be verified, we assume that they stole the information from someone else. Those in favor?

Some places have a separate crime of infanticide. I know the UK also has a crime of Causing or Allowing the death of a child.
