1978--true then, still true now

 

‎"Safe abortions have always been available to the rich, Dan. You simply want to deny them to the poor, and if you succeed, poor women will be forced to get them anyway. They’ll be forced into the alleys with hangers, plungers and vacuum cleaners, risking death or mutilation. But you’d like that, wouldn’t you, Dan? You sadistic, elitist, sexist, racist, anti-humanist pig!"

 

 --Saturday Night Live, NBC-TV. 

 

This aired in 1978.

 

Thirty-four years later, it’s still a debate, tragically.


Happy International Women's Day  anyway.
