Blackburn "Should someone who wants an abortion have to go before a government bureaucrat for a license, as for a gun?" it should be as easy to get an abortion as a gun. And pretty soon, anyone who needs an abortion probably WILL have to beg before a bureaucrat.

Kind of impressed that Blackburn said "exacerbated" not "exasperated".

Blackburn "children don't know the difference between a predator or a pedophile or a pornographer. Let me ask you about gun rights. They're making people really nervous".
