In celebration, I've spent today saying the same few things on a loop:

1. 91% of abortions occur in the first trimester.

2. Actually, due to the fact that 2/3 of abortions occur before 8 weeks, mostly we're talking about aborting an embryo, not a fetus.

3. An embryo isn't a person, no more than an egg is a chicken.

3a. Unless you enjoy balut with your breakfast.

4. Actually, most people who have an abortion are already parents.

5. Abortion isn't traumatic for everybody, in fact, the most commonly expressed emotion is relief.

6. I know you are, but what am I?

7. Abortion is safer than root canals. If your dentist doesn't need admitting privileges, neither does Planned Parenthood.

7a. Abortion is also safer than childbirth. If minimally trained midwives are legally able, in Texas, to assist in homebirths, then clearly Texas has no leg to stand on when it comes to abortion.

8. Well, I'm rubber and you're glue, and whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

8a. Except for good things.

9. This has nothing to do with gun control/same sex marriage/Islam/terrorism/Brexit, and I have no idea why you brought it up.

It's really been great fun!
