Fighting the system is a losing proposition if you fight to win.

Liz:
This comic is at least mildly relevant to the topic at hand.

Also it made me chuckle.

but it's easy to see who isn't tommy -- he's the only one without a sigquote from tommydski.

I don't know when the last time you were at a doctor was, but the earliest appointments you can make are always like a month away, and wait times in the ER are pretty routine.

Wut? I get appointments only a couple weeks ahead, and I don't think that my brother had to wait to get into the ER when he got a big cut on his eyebrow as a toddler. I can't recall whether I had to wait when I split open my chin, I was four and in a great deal of pain, I have managed to repress those memories. We didn't have to wait at all at the urgent care place when I scooped some flesh out of my hand, and I wasn't bleeding all that bad. I think your problem is living in the big city.

Hmm... contraception is abortion, masturbation is abortion? Wet dreams are abortion? Menstruation is abortion? But if you do have a kid, all those other sperm die. No matter what you do, you are killing thousands.

BrittanyMarie:
okaynegativenellyhere technically both sperm and eggs have only half the chromosomes needed to become a baby, so not even under this ridiculousness would it count as abortion. I would hope the conservatives wouldn't slide THAT far down the slippery slope.

And some forms of birth control (see: morning after pill, IUDs I think?) could be seen as aborticajfeiajfel, but it would depend on if your definition of when life starts is at conception, implantation, or somewhere else. So for someone who sees life starting at conception (I personally don't), I guess anything preventing implantation would be an abortion under their mindset.
