While I spoke about this on the show, I want a more clear, to the point article about this disgraceful lawyer, Wesley Serra. The facts clearly show this lawyer has a serious problem with the truth. I’m all for dissent, but lying is not dissent.

Abortion: A Voluntaryist Perspective
From the moment an egg is fertilized, there is a living cell with a unique set of human DNA. That is — scientifically — a human life.
