* This is not the caption contest photo…
The actual caption to the above photo…
Mark and Patricia McCloskey gained instant notoriety after video of them waving and pointing guns at Black Lives Matter demonstrators from the front yard of their St Louis mansion spread across the internet.
* Yesterday…
Republican Missouri Senate candidate Mark McCloskey told an audience last week he believes 13-year-old rape and incest victims should not be allowed to have abortions, stating he had a client who was raped at 13 but who gave birth to a child who now has a master’s degree.

I noted in the photo that we were not supposed to comment on thar Patricia was not exercising proper gun safety by having her finger on the trigger. So that made me think of a caption for the second photo:
“Hey Illinois NOW are you triggered?”

Wow. Forcing a child to bear her rapist’s baby? I suppose the next thing will be enforcing his parental rights.
Do these people even listen to themselves?

=== he believes 13-year-old rape and incest victims should not be allowed to have abortions===
