Our legislators are afraid. They are afraid they won’t be elected if they raise taxes. They should be afraid of not being reelected for ruining our schools and not taking care of our senior citizens, and people with disabilities.

Look out, justice system! Kansans for Life is coming to get you! Or, at least, they want people to believe that. You see, when marching on the Kansas Judicial Center yesterday to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v.
