The Genie's take on reproductive rights.

[wishboned]

I don't have anything against babies. They coo. They're cute. The (non-tab) industry frowns upon pregnancy, but the industry thinks Apple, Fuschia, and Lark Song are great names for kids, so it clearly doesn't know what the fuck to do with babies. So if my assistants want to go and do that baby thing, that's their prerogative and good for them

I'm surprised you didn't suggest an alternative to her. An alternative that comes in the form of a clinic and/or a coat hanger.

Like I'd subject myself to that kind of drama for a b-cup secretary who can't type above 70 wpm.

You're getting soft!

[wishboned]

Never.

Or you could just blow her boyfriend.

[wishboned]

...see, and now you can just blow me.

Sounds like somebody has a job opening.

[wishboned]

Not in any applicable way.

[thatrapscallion]

Aw c'mon! I'd be a fantastic agent!

Murdock. I could put in a word to Mr. Franco about the other thing, but I'm sure as hell not employing you.

Women are a mystery to anyone but other women, man. You're lucky she didn't stay; pregnant women are like women permanently on the rag.

[lepetitrouge]

Classy as always sir.

[kingofstories]

Making it a regular thing.

I'm not sad she gave notice, I just wish she'd given notice before I paid her to fly out with all her stuff.

I think it's lovely she realised she wanted a family.

[wishboned]

I think it's expensive that she realized she wanted a family.

[eemakha]

What is the cost of family?

[wishboned]

This is a philosophical question we can have lots of fun with when I'm not dealing with a literal cost for someone else's family.
