      Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

      George Carlin

        There was also “have you ever noticed that most of the women who are against abortion are women you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place?”

        Edit: whether you like it or not, this was an actual George Carlin quote from one of his HBO specials in the '80s. I laughed uproariously at the time - along with the audience - but I can see how it’s a questionable sentiment today. Although it’s still completely accurate.
