Things you see on the Ladies Room wall....

When one takes college classes one should expect to see almost anything. And sometimes One actually has a camera on One's handbag to get a picture. Cryptic enough for you?

This last Spring I took an Apparel Construction class at the college 2 days a week. Because the class was 3 hours long I usually had to stop at the Ladies Room. Normally there's nothing interesting happening in the Ladies Room, except for the occasional non-handicapped person using the handicapped stall, which really tics me off, but which is another topic for another blog post.

So one day last February I went into said handicapped stall and found this on the door of the stall.
It's kind of faint so I transcribed it below (and corrected some of the spelling).

Sam Harris - Letter to a Christian Nation

"It is estimated that 50% of all pregnancies terminate themselves before the woman even realizes she's pregnant. Another 20% of known pregnancies terminate by natural  means. If God is real, surely he is the most prolific abortionist of all."

Not the usual sort of graffiti one normally find on the walls of a bathroom. But it is a truism and I presume the woman compelled to write this on the ladies room wall was trying to get some sort of dialogue going on the pro's and con's of abortion debate. I can't help but think that there was a much better forum than a bathroom wall.  Though seeing this did kind of remind me of the character Plato in the Beetle Bailey comic strip. He's the strip's resident intellectual who often writes long-winded, analytical, often philosophical graffiti on a wall somewhere, usually in a Sunday strip. I had one of those on the door of my dorm room in college for most of the semester. I wish now I could remember what it was about.

Please bear in mind that I am not an advocate for or against abortion in this blog post. It's just a short commentary on the unusual things you might find on a ladies room wall. Thanks.
