Hey guys, I know this might be TMI, but I had an abortion just now, with my morning coffee. (I probably should have had it with a glass of water, but whatever.) I had one the day before, too, and the day before that. I've been having daily abortions for some time now.
Granted, scientifically speaking, I'm just preventing implantation*, not removing an existing fetus. But since when did anyone in the Bush administration pass health class in junior high? What, you want a government full of egghead smartipants, or do you want a government you can drink a beer with?
Anyway, good thing I live here, where I can have daily abortions, instead of in the States. Because I am a selfish feminist. I delight, each morning, in getting up, having a cup of coffee, taking my vitamins, petting the cats, and extinguishing the lives of precious, unique snowflakes.
EDIT: If you're American, tell 'em what you think.
* Not even that, because, well, condoms.

I'm not having daily abortions anymore, but I did for 11 years.

Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
Let the Pagans spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood!

She said, "You're of childbearing age so we're going to do it anyway."
I was in a hurry so I just rolled my eyes.

I know lots of gays that are pro-life, and it has nothing to do with religion. Abortion is an abhorrent process. If Ariel really believed in EQUALITY, that means every life is equal and has equal value and is allowed to exist in its own right. Abortion is about the most unequal thing as it gives control over another human being to someone else. It's about as far as you can get away from Human Rights. So gays should be AGAINST abortion. Women are disproportionately aborted, and what happens if they find a gay gene, and recognize it before birth, now people can kill gays before they are born. It's basically social darwinism. I'd really like to know some hard numbers of how many "back alley" abortions or "self abortions" happens before Henry Morgantaler's Supreme Court ruling in 1988. No pro-abortion people ever give any kind of hard stat, but just refer to back alley abortion as though it was white spread and a fact. Until I see stats, I think all pro-abortion people are demagogues trying to stir up people's emotions through lies.
