every year in the United States uh they are protected um abortionists and uh the uh abortions are protected by law and uh and and Governor Murphy is supporting [Music] um uh the abortions by making um abortion um classes uh being allowed in the in our Public Schools probably promoting abortions um with some of some of the students uh and um that is a terrible thing um uh he also has Law supporting lgbtq um promotions uh with with our students and the parental guidance and I I must have listened to uh 20 or 30 Trump rallies and he came out and said he's going to be against this he mentioned that uh the par uh Parental Guidance uh not being allowed uh in the in in certain states he is going to U come out against this and he'll probably change that I hope uh um and and not only uh Parental Guidance He also mentioned uh uh other things uh uh well other things that aren't related to um the the schools but um but hope and pray that uh the parent uh the teachers will not allow uh a parent not to be notified if their student is thinking about uh having their sex changed or because if if the student wants to do it and the parent and in this state and this and the uh parent does not uh wanted to be done the student can still go through with it let say one of the teachers as for this and that's terrible and these are things that President Trump will probably change he said he would
