In that case, it looks like idiots have a true friend in MSNBC.com reporter Irin Carmon. Earlier, Carmon read an article in The Nation and thought it made a lot of sense, so she shared it with her followers:
Tear Gas Is an Abortifacient. Why Won’t the Anti-Abortion Movement Oppose It? | The Nation http://t.co/TKPB8PouxS

More from the piece:
This means it’s likely that police in Ferguson, Missouri, have been spraying abortion-causing chemicals on crowds of civilians. Recently at TheNation.com, Dani McClain wrote about the killing of black youth as a reproductive justice issue, one that goes to the heart of the rights of parents to raise their children in peace, safety and dignity. She’s correct, of course, but if the anti-abortion movement were actually concerned about the well-being of the unborn, then the violence in Ferguson would be a pro-life issue as well.
Brilliant stuff. Just brilliant.
SUPER smart take that in no way is mockable. RT @irin: Tear Gas Is an Abortifacient. Why Won’t the Anti-Abortion Movement Oppose It?

Hold on, now. Let’s follow that “logic” for a second:
.@irin Using your logic, you should be lobbying business owners to cover employee expenses for tear gas. Otherwise, they're limiting access.

Hey, good point!

One last question:
@irin @AndrewStilesUSA So, can you opt to get shot in the face with tear gas when exercising your reproductive rights at planned parenthood?
