- New math!
- Ne-e-e-e-w math!
- It won't do you a bit of good to review math.
- It's so simple,

- That _only_ a child can do it!

- ObAbortion: I've read a few pro-lifers attempting to pick away at the idea
- that having an abortion can be a responsible solution to an unwanted

- The z/e/f? Why?
-
- Her SO? Why?
-
- Society? Why?
-
- God? Why?
-
- How about herself? Why not?
