“If only we had taxed away Bill Gates' wealth, then instead of having 7 vaccine factories ready to go whenever we figure out which vaccine is most effective, we could have... checks notes ...enforced the ban on coronavirus testing for an extra week.“
Actually all three fucked up, and each contributed to the tragedy unfolding here now.
I don’t really care but downvoting seems weasely. If you disagree with a post, saw why.

@jon-nyc I read an article a few days ago that indicates a surprising number of abortions occur after child 1 was born…
I can see that use case also.
I’m thinking more about the girl who had the abortion in college or grad school and goes on the have kids in her 30s.

Perhaps the only reason you’re here is because your mom did decide to abort your older sibling.
Nah, very unlikely. Not likely due to age, and anyway, by accounts, it didn't happen.
Lots of people abort a pregnancy when young and go on to have kids when they’re older. In many cases they wouldn’t have the later kid(s) if they had had the earlier one(s).

Not obviously true.

Clearly they meant black female but the headline writer felt unqualified to write that as he’s not a biologist.
Oh my god.
