I'm fine with both cocaine and sex parties. I'm fine with being gay. What I'm not fine with is these same exact fuckers doing blow and fucking prostitutes all weekend, only to get up Monday morning and give a speech about how we can't legalize weed because it will lead to degeneracy. All on my dime.

Abortion rates fell as countries made it legal and OK'd birth control

The only silver lining here is maybe people will stop pretending the Supreme Court is a legitimate institution where sober jurists make impartial decisions. It's just Congress with extra steps. It's honestly even dumber than Congress.
