Keep up Buggy; the quote was Carlin referencing abortion in his "inimitable" way.

Taltarzac thought it prescient and has some support in that, and then I and others vociferously disagreed.

Are you up to speed?

Speed kills. :grumpy:

Also a funny quote.

"'Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?''

Before the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided by the Supreme Court, abortion was illegal. No parents of a baby that was miscarried or lost otherwise were ever looked at with anything but concern and pity at the unexpected loss of the human being taken from them.

The loss of your baby was a tragedy, and I sympathize with the horror you and your family went through, but fail to see how dehumanizing the growing human being helps you, or somehow excuses and justifies abortion.

Obviously I disagree with you that RvW was unconstitutional.

However, abortion was NOT illegal in all the states. It was a patchwork quilt of laws that varied from state to state. RvW basically said that a woman in North Dakota now had the same rights as a woman in New York or Massachusetts.

But time were different "back then". While I don't believe that the literal version of "the miscarriage police" would happen the way some left-wing alarmists say, I *do* believe that today's ultra-right religious groups WOULD be pushing for something aking to that. The ones I'm talking about are the ones who don't allow for rape/incest/maternal endangerment exceptions.
