I remember, from another thread, about the "Planned Parenthood $8 Billion Dollar Abortionplex" story is a good measure of a person's beliefs on abortion. A pro-choice supporter will just laugh it off, but the story is just so unbelievable that it breaks an anti-abortionist's brain.

I was at a conference where Baratunde Thurston (former Onion digital editor) spoke and he pointed out that the Abortionplex has its own page on Yelp.

The reviews are hilarious.

Cons:

Two things, which is why I gave it only 4 stars:

First, anyone else irritated that the Orange Julius was being renovated? I'm hoping that it will be open by the time I return in about 8 weeks.

Second, the bathrooms by the rock climbing wall were out of paper towels. And when I told someone about it, they were a bit rude. Super annoying!
