The first case for his sainthood cited by anti-choice blogs and websites was the sentiment Jobs expressed in his biography that he was glad his mother didn’t choose abortion. (Although this is a curious thing to say, as abortion wasn’t an option in the United States until it was legalized in 1973; Jobs was born in the mid-1950s.)

The BOLD portion above is a bald-faced lie. Prior to Roe v. wade in 1973 abortion laws were a STATE issue and they differed from state to state. Some allowed it, some did not. Violet blue is a liar.

Some allowed it, some did not.

Four states allowed abortion on demand pre-Roe: NY, WA, HI and AK. In 30 states it was illegal under any circumstances. The remaining states (many of them in the south, interestingly) allowed it under certain circumstances: rape, incest, health of the mother, etc.

Maybe, but probably not. She’s just lazy minded. A product of higher education or as I like to call them: manufactured blithering idiots. They are brainwashed.

There was probably a college professor who told her this. There may even have been a whole class that revolved around this ‘fact’.

These days, it takes years to get the stupid out of the head of people who have been to almost any college. Unless they went in there with a body of knowledge and moral underpinnings, they come out drooling morons who spout the party line.
