“It's the same thing with abortion. White guys making women carry their future constituencies around in their bellies is so primitive we should get down on our knees and beg forgiveness from the all-merciful ram god. If men had babies, strip malls would be full of drive-through abortion clinics, and RU486 would be an additive in beer.”
