Abortion rights and the US election: Will they swing the final result; or not? • FRANCE 24 English

I pretty sure they wouldn’t have considered Blacks (or women) in that freedom and equality thing they talked about a lot either.

Abortion shouldn't be everyone's Plan B. If you want a 180 seconds of excitement, you should be prepared for 18 years of upbringing of a kid.
GOTTA USE PROTECTION!!!!!
