"This is no dream! This is really happening!"

In the landmark case of Roe V. Wade way back in 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that abortions within the first two trimesters of pregnancy are a constitutional right under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, and that settled that little matter once and for all.

I'm kidding, of course. People have blown each other up over this shit.

Just last week, an Oklahoma state legislator proposed a bill that would require the father's written permission for a woman to get an abortion.

But what if the father is a rapist?

What if I'm the father?

What if the lady's husband is so desperate to advance his acting career he conspires with satanist neighbors to drug the lady so I can rape her while a bunch of naked, old people stand around singing and she thinks she's on a boat the whole time because she's tripping balls and now she's pregnant with the Anti-Christ?

I'd probably sign off on it because either way, I win. I'm getting ahead of myself, though.

This week's Thursday Thriller is Rosemary's Baby.


This 1968 Roman Polanski film is about a good Catholic girl named Rosemary (Mia Farrow), who never even considers an abortion, no matter how sick her pregnancy makes her or how much evidence mounts that she is the object of a witch conspiracy to use her body as a vessel to bring a demon into the world and usher in a new age of all-encompassing evil. John Cassavetes plays Rosemary's douchebag husband guy.

Short on gore, but long on suspense, it's a true classic. Don't get your hopes up about getting a good look at that baby, though. It's just not that kind of movie. My hands look cool, though.


Rosemary's Baby streams on Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus.
