I agree, all shootings are committed by generic "killers" who don't care who their victim is. None of them are commited in the heat of the moment, or by people who have specific targets in mind who they would attack regardless of how armed they are.

Well, yes. It's the same mentality that says we should keep bombing the "terrorists" because that's a type of person and not an action that any person could take. There are good guys and bad guys. Good guys are always good, bad guys are always bad. That's why someone (white) who accidentally fires his weapon or leaves his pistol in the baby crib is still a "law abiding citizen."

The whole thing, without a doubt, is a dream come true for Rall. Finally, he gets to be a victim of the system, and it'll feed his constant desire to be the center of attention for a good while. Though I do have to say it's kinda fascinating seeing Rall's overdramatization of his life happen in real time.

It's a shame. I was a fan of Rall's years ago, when I knew his work from small-press mags and before the internet helped us get to know him better. I do feel like there's a smart person somewhere in there, but it's been completely warped by his out-of-control ego.

So, 1.4% of abortions are after, approximately, the four month mark. An even tinier fraction is done when something resembling a baby is pulled out and it is always, without exception, (as far as I know) done to prevent the mother from being killed by the pregnancy.

To people like Adam Ford, women being killed by pregnancy is <shrug> and we should just live with it, because women in their purest form are incubators and nothing more.

And these people preach morality to the rest of us.

Planned Parenthood is sometimes compensated for aborted fetal tissue used in medical research.

*beep*

Planned Parenthood is payed for aborted fetal tissue used in research.

*beep*

Planned Parenthood DEMANDS huge sums of money for aborted BABY PARTS used in "research".

*beep*

Planned Parenthood DEMANDS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ( and gets it) for FORCEFULLY MURDERED BABY ARMS AND LEGS AND HEARTS used in SATANIC RITUALS. LAMBORGHINI! :gonk:

Also didn't they say the tissue used gets something like 50 or 100 dollars? That's not a lot of money and certainly not enough to warrant a "baby parts black market" scandal. Sounds more like it covers transportation costs and that's about it.

I really like this one. Gorgeous use of metaphor - Biden as the Cheshire Cat, with the vanishing and reappearing matching the will-he-won't-he of Biden joining the race, matched with a big toothy grin that clearly matches Joe's smile.

See, the Free Market just gets rid of things and gives you money for them. YOU are the evil one for selling evil stuff on the Free Market. No-one can be blamed for buying them- the Free Market just sweeps away goods and returns currency.

Yeah this is one of those cartoons that makes less and less sense the more you look at it. I wonder if Varvel thinks this is how abortions actually work -- loving excited mother-to-be comes in and is blindsided by evil ABORTION DOCTORS with SURPRISE ABORTIONS -- or if he just didn't think the cartoon through very well.

No, I'm pretty sure that's in the vanilla game. You need to complete the optional objective for that stage of the quest (kill ten of them with the stick instead of three), but it does show up in the data files.

Hey, you're right. I read the wiki article wrong (I thought the filename it gave meant it was from elsewhere, but it simply meant it was from the Wasteland Survival Guide quest).

Still, fits the thread nicely.
