When I was 14, my mom gave me $50 to not get pregnant in high school. The rule was, if I got pregnant, I'd have to give her back the $50 and get an abortion.

And it worked! I really didn't want to lose the $50. (Or have kids.)

If my mom had had an abortion at the age of 19, I wouldn't be here. Now we couldn't have had that, now could we?

Can we get a "overpopulation" pledge

(I will not reproduce.)

and put a big middle finger to both these immature groups?
