I Approved Several Abortions This Week

Remember the image above from this post back in 2006?

It was funny back then, but it’s not so funny now. I came into the office only to find a stack of the forms above, all marked “Abortion Leave” waiting for my signature. Life is cheap in China.

As a non-practicing Catholic, the very notion of abortion turns my stomach. Have I damned myself to hell (if I’m not already) by signing my name to these leave applications?

Oh be still my hell-bound heart.

That sucks. Even the fact that there is such thing as abortiom leave??? Why is it more acceptable to go on abortion leave to make sure your whole office knows about it than use protection?
Hand out a condom to the next woman who asks for abortion leave, to make sure it won’t happen again - saves the company money, too.

Oh my… you will go to ‘hell’ for other reasons, not for signing that form, that is for ‘damn sure’ - HA HA HA!

Since you writing this and that one of my favourite comedian George Carlin just died yesterday. I would recommend watching some of his stand-ups on abortion or pro-life.

well, i think china has abortion leave due to the one-child policy….. since they encourage one child… it’s totally ok for them….
