    I’m not sure what “cave women” (I hate that misconception) 20,000 yeas ago you’re talking about, but abortions outside of medical settings are extremely dangerous, so women getting them some other way or just figuring it out on their own is going to kill many of them.

      Once again, I 100% agree with you. It’s the GOP that’s not reading history books. There was a time in our history abortion was nationally banned. Women will get abortions regardless of the legality and personal health risks. Actually after roe v wade was passed we saw a spike in population growth because spoiler alert, dead and unhealthy women due to a dangerous pregnancy have way less children.

      Same here. I’m guessing the term stuck because cave environments are better at preserving remains than most others.

      “‘Cah-vay Dwellers’, wasn’t he in-”

      “No, it’s ‘Cave Dwellers’, Joel, it’s the name of the movie.”
