The hubris and ignorance necessary to deny medical practices and pharmacology because of a religion that only describes how to perform abortions in it's iron age sex manual and foreskin blood magic book is fucking terrifying. Earth, noun: a ball of rock and mud inhabited by psychotic apes.

Idk if you meant it like that, but I read that in the voice of the woman on "Baby Got Back".

"m-m-me so hoooorny"

But angry

Just so we're clear, that woman (the Baby Got Back woman) is actually the woman from 2LiveCrew's "Me So Horny", who is really an audio sample from the movie Full Metal Jacket.

The "Me So Horny" sample was also featured three years later, when Sir Mix-a-Lot included the sample in "Baby Got Back".

This is the kind of information that should not be forgotten to the mists of time.

(Just kidding, it's totally the kind of thing that would be OK to forget, but I wanted to point it out anyway.)

If only Joe Rogan could possibly get pregnant ...

And he can pretty easily smuggle the knocked-up maid out of the country to get an abortion.

There's a black mirror episode along those lines...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

Yep. That's probably right.

I support the states rights to ban Texans. ;)
