The abortion issue is a class issue.

Abortions occurred before roe v. wade, and if it gets reversed, abortions will occur after roe v. wade. What we'll get is this:

Upper and upper-middle class people will get safe ones (daughters of legislators and justices, you're all set).

Lower-middle and lower class people will get back alley ones (so cross your fingers).

It kills me when guys ring in on the "anti-choice" side of this issue. "Who speaks for the baby? Who speaks for the unborn child?" Shut the fuck up.

I'm a guy, and I'll tell you what, if we were the ones that got knocked up and somebody told me it was illegal to have an abortion, I'd wave my middle finger to the world and live wrecklessly until I miscarried. I'd get drunk and play full-contact football or hoops. I'd spalunk into caves and I'd jump out of airplanes.

Then, when someone cries foul, what happens? There are a lot of lawyers out there, and we're going to need some legal precedents, people.

Now that you've given fetuses the rights of human beings, can I be brought up on manslaughter charges? How about murder? Do you define the acceptable risks for a pregnant man or do I? Can I hop on a motorcycle? Pursue my brown belt in Judo? When I go to the town pool, am I diving off a diving board with intent to abort?

Let it go fellahs. Let the ladies decide. Nobody loves abortion, but if a woman doesn't think it's the right time to have a kid, who are we to decided. She's probably got a very good reason. Take her fucking word for it.
