When prosecutors make the argument... JFC
Our legal system is an abortion
This murder will be an actual example of a post-term abortion that the right has been pretending to be scared of, ironically enough
Oh my God; that's such a great way to put it!
I'm pretty sure Republicans are quite content with the current legal system, but they hate abortions, so it's more like.....a burning homeless shelter? A Puppy- stomping-Yard? An all-you-can-touch daycare?.............uhm.......... What do republicans like else?
We don't have a legal system. That assumes that figuring out if the law was broken is the primary goal. We have a punishment system. The primary goal is to hand out the harshest punishment that they can get away with, provided you don't have the financial means to be fast tracked over to the slap on the wrist system set aside for rich folks.
The system is working as intended.
