"Large scientific bodies have found no evidence to suggest #abortion causes increases in mental health problems. The best predictor of a woman’s mental health after an abortion is her health before.

Und wäre BigAutomotive nicht eine derart etablierte und mit Politik verflochtene Milliardenindustrie, dann würde keine Gesellschaft ertragen, wie das Auto unsere Lebensräume zerstört.
Die Große Einsicht wird mit großem Protest, mit FakeNews und #JunkScience eingergehen, aber der Aufstand gegen das Auto ist so fällig
