Reboot day, please


Posted by jen

OK first off, it’s raining. This means people in Austin drive worse than usual.

Next, it’s Friday, so Simon (the ACC “cafe”) is closed, so I can’t buy a banana or a bagel.

Fine, I try to buy a bottled Dr. Pepper from the machine – it sounds like it vends, but nothing in the box, and I can’t reach it to wiggle it out.

FINE, I’ll get a can instead. This works, but it means I can’t save it for after class if I don’t finish it.

Now I don’t have enough quarters to buy a Twix bar – no problem, I’ve got lots of dimes and nickles.

The bloody machine won’t take nickles – keeps spitting them out.

FINE!

Grr.

Oh, and I’m taking my first math test today. Whee.

(actually, I think I’ll do well on it. :D)


This is why.

It is important to remember that Roe v. Wade did not mean that abortions could be performed. They have always been done, dating from ancient Greek days.

What Roe said was that ending a pregnancy could be carried out by medical personnel, in a medically accepted setting, thus conferring on women, finally, the full rights of first-class citizens — and freeing their doctors to treat them as such.
