A few notes:
1. "Thank" you, Mom.
2. Oh, Coco.
3. Yeah, Taylor Swift, I TOTALLY get what yer saying there.
4. This AndrewWK twitter is hilariously fake. #scottbaioprolife
Speaking of pro-life ridiculousness:this morning I found the "Babies are a Gift - Choose Life" stickers that had been plastered on the lampposts on my way to work have been unceremoniously ripped off and thrown into the street.
It made my day, honestly. I was gonna do it, but I'm glad someone got to all of them first.
@jaydock: ditto! I feel kind of weird now. And glad I go to a different gym, I don't think paper towels would be enough for all that chicken grease or whatever she smeared herself with. Bad gym etiquette #scottbaioprolife
And I would like to "Thank" you, Scott Baio, by telling you to "Fuck off" of my relationship with my mother. Just because my mother didn't get an abortion doesn't "Mean" she's Pro-Life. #scottbaioprolife
@Snowbunny: my mother did get an abortion- she got pregnant at 16 when she lost her virginity. She CHOSE to have me when she was ready, so fuck you, Scott Baio your shizz is weak. #scottbaioprolife
I would like to thank my mother for having me when she and my father were ready to start a family.
I'd also like to thank her for a moment when I was about 10 years old, and there was some terrible shit going down where abortion clinics were being bombed and doctors were being shot. Someone was talking about it on the radio when we were driving in the car. I didn't really get what was going on, but she turned to me and said, "No woman should ever have a baby until they want one. No else gets to make that choice for you." She might not remember that, but I always will.
I need to thank her, too, for the day I got my first period, when all I wanted to was hide and cry. She hugged me, I was awkward, but she told me about birth control and how if I ever needed it that I could come to her and she would help me get it.
@WheresMyMac'n'Cheese?!?: my old flatmate has this awesome photo of her mother on the lawns of Parliament in the mid-80s, protesting for abortion rights... while heavily pregnant with said flatmate. #scottbaioprolife
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: I remember my mother making me skip school to go with her on a women's lib march (it was the '70s). She figured that my education was incomplete until I had also learnt to fight for my rights, including the right to make my own reproductive choices). If you had told me then that 30 years later, in the 21st century, I would be having the same conversations with my own daughter, I would never have believed it. I really thought this battle would be ancient history by now. Boy, was I ever wrong! #scottbaioprolife
@thatgirlmay: I always hate this argument that anti-choice people throw at you, like "aren't you happy your mom didn't abort you?" Um, if my mom had aborted me, I wouldn't exist and therefore, I can't have opinion on that. Also my mom is totally pro-choice and I thank her for that. #scottbaioprolife

It's called Pro-CHOICE, as in I'd like to have a CHOICE on what I do and don't do with my body, whether I keep my baby or not.
Thank you. #scottbaioprolife
