| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.com. |
| 0:05.8 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:15.6 | while there's nothing you can't pass on on Savage Mubcast. |
| 0:23.6 | An interesting study came out a couple of weeks ago from the Gatmacher Institute, which is some institute somewhere that studies things. |
| 0:31.6 | And they found that banning abortions does not reduce the number of abortions. |
| 0:37.1 | There's all quote, Restricting the availability of legal abortion does not appear to reduce |
| 0:40.8 | the number of women trying to end unwanted pregnancies. |
| 0:43.2 | A major report suggests the Gutmacher Institute study found abortion occurs at roughly equal |
| 0:48.6 | rates in regions where it is legal and regions where it is highly restricted or illegal. |
| 0:53.7 | The only thing they found is at places where abortions are illegal and sought at the same |
| 0:59.3 | rate that they're sought in places where they are illegal is that it kills lots of women. |
| 1:04.0 | Women die when they're looking for abortions, when they're out there trying to get abortions. |
| 1:08.4 | When you ban abortion, when you make it illegal, you are consciously, now we know, you are murdering women, you are killing women, and you aren't |
| 1:18.0 | saving any babies, you're just killing women. |
| 1:21.9 | Which is what I'm going to accuse Michigan State Representative Jim Sleezak. |
| 1:27.4 | Now, I don't know if I'm pronouncing his name |
| 1:28.7 | correctly. It's S-L-E-Z-A-K. Who's a Democrat who's introduced a bill in Michigan that would |
| 1:37.0 | ban abortions. So if you're listening and you're in Michigan, you need to get in touch with |
| 1:41.2 | Representative Jim Sleez-Zack's office and point out to him that should he succeed in banning abortion in Michigan. |
| 1:50.3 | All he's going to ultimately succeed in doing is killing women in Michigan. |
| 1:57.3 | Asshole. |
| 1:58.3 | And if you're listening to Michigan or really anywhere else in the country, please get in touch with Representative Jim Slee-Z-Zak about his bill that would ban abortions in Michigan, which has 22 co-sponsors right now. You can call him at 800-5555-8-6-0. His email is J-I-M-S-L-E-Z-A-K at house.m-M-I-D-G. I just called Representative Jim Slee-Z-A-X office, and his name is pronounced Sle-Z-A-K, I guessed correctly. |
