More pro-life than the United States 🧐

Perhaps less pro-forces birth ⚖️

To be fair, America also has a bunch of kids making memes that praise a guy who shot a man in the back. So it seems the line between what is morally reprehensible and what isn’t- is directly proportional to the amount of hate they have for those killed.

I don't disagree, but I think that's a response to being able to see any justice at all. I'm sure those memers would be happy to see CEOs like that in jail.
