Snow v. Wade


Today a letter linking the lack of snowmen in Ann Arbor to the landmark right to privacy Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade was posted to AnnArbor.com.

The writer marshals the following line of reasoning in support of this proposition: "[P]erhaps one of the reasons [why there are no snowmen] is because so many of the potential "snowmen makers" have been aborted! Over 50 million in United States alone since Roe vs Wade 38 years ago in 1973! What will it take to get the snowmen back?"

I suspect that the author is trolling, but I can't be sure. And that frightens me.
