I am not a doctor, and although I don't possess any lady parts of my own, I think I know a thing or two about how they function.
Here are a few facts to whet your appetite:
Bottom line: Cutting taxes for big businesses and turning Medicare into a voucher program would eliminate the need for abortions—even in cases of "legitimate rape," statutory rape and incest, or when the health of the mother is in danger.
Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

RNC member Pat Rogers will not allow New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez's aggression towards General Custer to stand.
A progressive group called on Republican National Committee leader Pat Rogers to step down on Friday after emails showed him telling New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez's staff that meeting with a group of American Indians "dishonored" Gen. George Armstrong Custer, the 19th century commander who killed scores of American Indians.
"The state is going to hell," Rogers, who is a member of the GOP executive committee and is currently in Tampa for the RNC convention, wrote in a June 8 email released by Progress Now New Mexico. Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Col. Allen Weh "would not have dishonored Col Custer in this manner," he wrote.
Meanwhile...
Rush Limbaugh isn't buying any of President Obama's bullshit about a hurricane approaching Tampa.
"So we got a hurricane coming. The National Hurricane Center, which is a government agency, is very hopeful that the hurricane gets near Tampa. The National Hurricane Center is Obama. It's the National Weather Service, part of the commerce department. It's Obama."
Limbaugh isn't alone in thinking that President Obama controls the weather. Last week, House Speaker John Boehner blamed him for a drought ravaging the Midwest.
And, in tangentially-related news...
A Texas judge is hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst in the event that President Obama is reelected.
"I'm not saying we're going to take [newly hired law enforcement officers] and stand in front of the UN. I have to think of, as emergency management director I have to think of worst case scenario, and I used that as an example yesterday. Okay, in my opinion, the worst case scenario politically and financially right now is if Obama and the Senate Democrats stay in power. Okay, because I have some opinions what they're doing and what they're trying to do if they stay in power. And I have to prepare for that, okay.
Does that mean I think the UN's going to come rolling into Lubbock? No. That probably isn’t going to happen. An F-5 tornado probably is not going to come into Lubbock. I’ve got to prepare for it, though."
Women and children first.
