"What were you two talking about?"
---"We were trying to decide if abortions were cheaper and not a social stigma--or state and AMA sponsored murder-- when our mothers were pregnant with us, would we have been aborted babies?
"If abortions were as glamorous or at least as mundane as cosmetic plastic surgery?"
---"If there was no anti-abortion movement... would we be here to see the sunrise through Starbucks'window?"
"Did you talk about what your mothers now know about how much time and energy it takes to care for an infant?"
---"That and how much time companies now demand from their managers and executives in training."
(Both sit and silently stare at nothing for a long minute.)
"I'm pretty sure my mother would've been an aborted baby."
