You don't want drug addicts being solely responsible for a newborn baby do you? The only way to be sure that doesn't happen is to test people.

I don't know if the original intention was just that naïve or if it was always sinister, but it's definitely used in discriminatory ways and does more harm than good.

Picture a dark room full of people where you're supposed to sit quietly otherwise they're mad at you. Now imagine taking a wrecking ball of a child into that room. It's your responsibility to keep them sitting quietly. And failing that, to keep them from bothering everyone else.

There's roughly a murder a day in NYC. How many of them have you heard about? Do you know any of their names or professions?

Call me crazy, but I don't count an ovum as someone.

Oh. You just don't understand America. Yeah, no, the pharmacy is a 10 minute drive from the doctor's office. And that seems decently close.

Unless your doctor is in a hospital type setting; then there's probably a pharmacy on site.

Carefully placing an already growing embryo really doesn't have the same aura of cream to it, y'know? Like there's not even sperm at that point.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

I love the drive through when my sick toddler has fallen asleep in the car on the way from the doctor's to the pharmacy.

Additionally, my wife has recently started watching Gossip Girl but I only catch glimpses of that show. Did anybody actually like that show when it came out?

If you think of teenage girls as people, tons of people liked it when it came out. They also liked the books.

We have tons of video evidence of cops planting evidence for smaller things than this.

It's a McDonald's. Do people even look up the reviews for a McDonald's before going?

Because Justices will get old and die. Or they'll retire and be replaced by someone younger. If it's a Democrat in the White House, when that happens, we get to push the court leftward. If it's a Republican, it goes rightward. Thomas and Alito retiring and being replaced by someone 30 years younger solidifies a right-wing majority for decades.
