Spare the Childless Cat Ladies
We're calling on America to spare the childless cat ladies. (And yes, J.D. Vance, we're talking about you.) This rising politician's cruel quote cut many down. He actually accused of those without biological children as being nothing more than "childless cat ladies."...
How an Open Adoption Works
