What Happens

A strange-looking man walks up to a crowd of people protesting an abortion clinic. He goes inside and orders “one abortion, please.” He’s very insistent– maybe for good reason.

Commentary

I liked some of the protester signs: “You wouldn’t abort a car!” What? “Morning sickness? Try Thalidomide!”

I’ve never had one, but I don’t think abortions work like that, at least not most of the time. On the other hand, the immigration jokes are just about 100% accurate.

It’s low budget and cheesy, but also very funny. I like it!
