Random Fact: When I was in undergrad I worked for a Dem Congressman on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I happened to be alone in the office for a couple of minutes while people got lunch/went to the bathroom/whatever. A woman came in and screamed, "BABY KILLER!" over and over again in my face. I let her because I didn't know what to do and didn't remember the number for security. After at least 1 full minute of screaming herself hoarse at me, she said smugly, "What do you have to say for yourself?" Now, with a piercing headache, I could only think to say, "Um... I'm adopted?" not that it's really a response (but what is? "No, I'm not a baby killer"?). She looked shocked, looked at my face (I'm Korean), looked at my ID tag (I have a very very Italian full name) got really red and ran away.
