In The Know panelists say more states should make decorating a nursery and choosing a baby name required steps in obtaining access to an abortion.

1. This shines a bright light on their ignorance...
I would venture to guess that most women who get abortions don't have the means for an extra room for a baby, let alone funds for paint, furniture, cutsie baby linens, a layette, etc.

Idiots.

3. Um, you DID notice this was Onion News Network, did you not?
...I guess not.

Although it can often be hard to tell Fox News from the Onion.

9. It is sick that it is hard to tell the difference
I looked at the headline and it really did sounds like something the republicans would do, that I was really pissed for a second. But then the music came on and I realized it was the onion.



I have to say... The whole "Take a Life, Save a Life" program is one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time.

4. Laugh now, but

5. They tried to get women to view ultrasounds of the fetuses

Before having an abortion.

More and more The Onion is becoming closer to the real news.
