    True enough, eh. But you don't get to decide what's funny to anyone other than yourself. Too bad.

    "American women will be able to obtain abortions in Canada if the United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade and returns abortion law to the state level, says Karina Gould, minister of families, children and social development.

    In an interview with CBC News Network's Power & Politics on Tuesday, Gould was asked if American women would be allowed to access the procedure in Canada."

    "I don't see why we would not," she told host Vassy Kapelos. "If they, people, come here and need access, certainly, you know, that's a service that would be provided."

    Gould's remarks came after U.S. political news outlet Politico published a copy of an initial draft opinion written by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, a Republican appointee. That opinion suggests a majority of justices are prepared to overrule Roe v. Wade — the landmark decision that allowed legal abortions in the U.S. — and return the issue to state legislatures."

    Unless the plan is that the wealthy class will adopt and provide for all the unwanted infants born of the poor, I don't see how outlawing abortion is going to help our society (or planet, we're already so overpopulated). Only those with financial means will be able to terminate pregnancy, so we'd be even more overloaded with poverty-stricken children who are unwanted and uncared for.
