I'm not advocating that a fetus's life isn't important. I've never said that. But I do think that a woman's right to choose how to control her life is as important or more important. Its up to her to make the decision.
I'd rather she just use birth control in the first place and never get pregnant. But life isn't always that simple. I just don't prefer to impose my will on other people. And before those words get contorted, being pro-choice is not imposing your will on others. You can argue that it is, but giving people a choice is not imposing something on them. They are still entitled to make whatever decision they want.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
