I feel like you’re misunderstanding the purpose of a drive-by shitpost.

A bit more conservative lunacy:

You must go through any pregnancy no matter what the circumstances are. Okay, maybe we’ll make a few exceptions. Or maybe not. But it’s always best if you have that baby…UNLESS you have babies you can’t afford to care for. We don’t like all that public assistance. Tell those babies to pick themselves up by their bootie-straps!

You can’t have abortions because babies die.

Avoid abortions but try not to use birth control because you’re not supposed to have sex unless you’re procreating. And you can’t have birth control unless you can afford it yourself. If you can’t, just don’t ever have sex.

Nary a peep for almost a week. I guess he’s waiting for new orders from the right-wing blogosphere.
