Pregnant
Palls
“When I’m president
American women will have the best pregnancies.
I’ll build a YOOOOOGE uterine wall
so tall that immigrant mothers will never
get over it. And I’ll make Planned
Parenthood pay for it.
I’d make a
great obstetrician because I’ve got
long, beautiful fingers... perfect for
signing American birth certificates, which
our current president doesn’t have.
My only problem is that women flirt with
me too much, even in the delivery room.
But that’s to be expected, since
they’re expecting. Why, if my daughter
Ivanka wasn’t my daughter perhaps
she’d be expecting right now, because
I’ve got long, beautiful fingers,
and we all know what that means.
Did I
mention my fingers? Fingers, fingers, fingers.”

There's a country in this
world where a woman of any age can walk
into a
medical facility and obtain an abortion
at any point
in her pregnancy, and the government will
actually pay for it, no waiting period
required. Where is this den of barbary,
you may ask?
England. You know, pip-pip, cheerio and
all that kinda jazz.
In fact, any country that's not completely in the thrall
of the Catholic Church has a similarly liberal approach
to the abortion process. France, Spain, Germany, Sweden,
Switzerland, Canada (which has no criminal
laws restricting abortion) and many others are happy
to help women in their times of need.
El Salvador? That's another
story. If you suffer a miscarriage there you're liable
to spend a few years in jail. Or thirty years, like
17-year-old Christina
Quintanilla after an anonymous
hospital nurse accused her of having an abortion.
Abortion should be readily available for all women,
without restrictions. It's their bodies, after all.
The sad truth is that Republicans only use the issue
of abortion as a wedge issue, to con godly folk into
the red side of the voting booths. If they were
serious about unwanted births they'd make birth control
free and easy to obtain, plus require frank and
uncensored sex education for all children. These, among
all other steps, have been proven to reduce the number
of abortions.

Again, a modest mea culpa. My 'toon production has
been irregular lately as I'm suffering from what I
call "Trump fatigue". I have many other ideas for comics
outside the
purely political
arena but this smug jerk just HAS to open his yap and
cause me to slam on the brakes. It seems like it should
be
easy to lampoon the guy but contextualizing the seemingly
random noises he poots out honestly makes my brain
throb.
ARGHHHHHH!
