87 A Day
In the political ads I’ve been seeing of late, “abortion without exception” sounds decisive, powerful, and bold.
But what it really means is this: at least 32,000 pregnancies from rape every year. That’s 87 a day.
Eighty-seven women, many already brutalized, will carry their rapist’s child.
And if that number doesn’t make you sick, consider this: it doesn’t even include incest.
These are the lives we’re willing to sacrifice on the altar of political purity.
We are told this is a fight for “life.” Whose life, exactly?
The raped woman? The assaulted teenager? The child molested by her father?
The words “without exception” slip so easily off the tongue of the self-righteous.
The idea is that morality is clear-cut, that principles are pure.
But this isn’t principle—it’s cruelty masquerading as ethics.
Because the result of these policies is state-enforced pregnancy for rape victims.
Tell me again about the sanctity of life when you force an 11-year-old incest victim to carry to term.
It’s not about protecting life. It’s about control.
It’s about forcing the most vulnerable to pay for the moral posturing of the powerful.
No exceptions. No mercy. No humanity.
‘Will & Harper’ A Beautiful Road Trip
“Will & Harper” isn’t just a film – it’s a rollercoaster ride through the heart of friendship, with comedy legend Will Ferrell and his longtime collaborator Harper Steele at the wheel.
Buckle up for a road trip that’s equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. Ferrell, playing himself, isn’t just along for the ride – he’s our guide through the uncharted territory of Harper’s gender transition.
Think “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” meets “Boys Don’t Cry,” with a hefty dose of Ferrell’s signature wit.
Harper Steele isn’t just the co-writer – she’s the beating heart of this story.
Her journey from SNL writer’s room to living her truth is raw, real, and revolutionary. It’s not just transition; it’s transformation.
Director Josh Greenbaum doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. He lets Will and Harper’s friendship do the heavy lifting, serving up a cocktail of laughter and tears that’ll leave you emotionally hungover.
The Steeles’ script? It’s a knockout punch of honesty. Every line crackles with authenticity, from gut-busting gags to soul-crushing confessions.
With visuals that’ll make your eyeballs dance and performances that’ll hijack your heart, “Will & Harper” isn’t just a movie – it’s a movement. It’s a rallying cry for the power of friendship to move mountains, change lives, and rewrite the rules of identity.
While the second-act pacing tends to meander, and the film occasionally strays near solipsism, it’s never enough to derail the film from its refreshingly earnest worldview.
Forget the tissue box – bring a whole damn roll. This cinematic sucker punch will have you laughing, crying, and reconsidering everything you thought you knew about friendship, long after the credits roll.
In a world of cookie-cutter comedies, “Will & Harper” is the whole damn bakery. Don’t just watch it – experience it.
