Anyone else read this book? I am working my way through it and it is absolutly facinating! Did you know Sumo wrestlers are corupt? This book shows how. It has been an increadable read! Highly recommended.

Yep. Read it a while back and I really enjoyed it. It really explains a lot. But there will be a lot of people that will find it controversial due to the “Roe V. Wade” connection as true as it may be.

By far the most compelling argument for abortion I have every heard/read. I still disagree with abortions and think they are wrong but his logic is hard to refute.

Remember, if the boy Democrats all marry boy Democrats, then the girl Democrats all marry girl Democrats, and the straight Democrats all get abortions... Unfortunate for us, socialism isn't hereditary as much as contagious...
