A close friend of mine once asked me to accompany her to an abortion clinic.

She and I prepared for the experience for a couple weeks. I spent quite a lot of time talking it over with some of my coworkers.

At the very last instant I realize I screwed up; while she was in with the doctor I raced out, purchased a miniature teddy bear then raced back.

That made all the difference to her but even so she was completely overcome with grief.

All the women at the clinic were overcome with grief.

I was the only male in the place other than the staff.

I don't believe that story.

You may have idiosyncratic views on abortion ("I don't believe in a woman's right to her own medical choices, so I went and bought a stuffed animal"), but it seems totally implausible that your bringing a stuffed animal into the clinic would make "all the women at the clinic [be] overcome with grief."

Cool story, bro. What's your point?
