Whether or not they're legal abortions will still be performed. Desperate people will take desperate measures regardless of how odious those acts are and do we really want to return to the days of the back alley butchers with their wire coat hangers? Times have changed, gentlemen. It wasn't that long ago when it was illegal for unmarried couples to live together and except for a few states (Illinois was one of them) oral sex was illegal, even for married couples. I was told back in the 60s that in Wisconsin if you were barefoot in a car with your sweetie you could be charged with statutory rape. That may just be a rumor but young Vicky from Eau Claire did insist that I put my shoes back on, and I did.
The laws regarding matters of a sexual nature are screwy, indeed. There are nations where same-sex marriages are illegal but bestiality is okay, which doesn't sound right to me. In the US there are still a few states where bestiality is not illegal, which makes me question the wisdom of the average American voter. But as George Carlin once noted, think about how stupid the average person is. Half the people are more stupid than that.

So, when we vote on something should the winner be a majority or plurality? In 2016 Hillary had a plurality but not a majority; she received less than half of the votes tallied. It's kind of moot because of the electoral college but would she really have won otherwise? Majority Rules, or so they say, but she didn't have one.
And speaking of Hillary, there have been rumblings that she isn't done yet. Something is afoot and God help us all.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

At least there was a little good news lately; those kids and their coach made it out of that cave in Thailand. I wonder what made them think it was a good idea to go there in the first place. They might want to rethink their extracurricular activities.
