Wrong.

You can't say Big Macs suck if you've never been in a McDonalds.

This has LESS to do with the fact that PJ can't be pregnant than it
has to do with the fact that PJ HAS NEVER BEEN TO A PP, AND THEREFORE
CANNOT COMMENT ON WHAT GETS SAID OR DOESN'T GET SAID WITHIN THE
CONFINES OF THE WALLS.

~~ The Screamer ~~

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a pro-life hyprocrite.
If you're going to stand there and tell me that the life of that
fetus is worth more than MY life, then you can't sincerly call
yourself pro-life.  You're pro-fetus.
