No, no, it's a center for cloning. Only seven cents a copy!

I so want to stage a protest there now. That would be awesome.

It would be doubly awesome if you managed to convince a (non-local) pro-life group to join you in protest.

Or we can imagine Becks entering an abortion clinic demanding they make 50 copies of her resum�. "What do you mean you don't go further than 28? Are your machines out of date or something?"

4 - That's what I would love to do. I started describing the whole scheme to my mother and she just rolled her eyes.

Depending on the group, it could totally work.

Wait, I'm not understanding -- I can't picture a photocopy store that would be mistakeable for a reproductive services clinic. I mean the name is a little confusing, ok. But don't they have a sign in the window or something? Or a window FTM through which you can see the copy shop?

And the Unfogged Happy Fun Kitty shares my confusion.

Folks in the Midwest keep to themselves, Clown. They don't want just anyone looking in at them photocopying, unlike you exhibitionist New Yorkers.

I wish I had a picture. It's an old house that was converted into a business -- not a shop in a strip mall or something. There aren't many windows and, besides the discreet signage, there's nothing indicating the type of business at all. There are a number of medical practices in the neighborhood run out of similar buildings (my dentist growing up was in one). It's also pretty out of the way -- not exactly a convenient place for a Kinko's-like operation where you need to get in and out quickly but a good place for a "destination" business (like a medical practice) where you'd be willing to drive a little out of your way.

FTM = facing the mineshaft?

I'm disgusted and appalled that Kinko's is offering abortion services now.

We see this again and again in our depraved culture -- an established business reaching beyond its core competencies once it has tapped out the possibilities for organic revenue growth.

I read "FTM" as "female-to-male," but that didn't seem to quite fit in context.

Gotta build shareholder value somehow.

FTM="for that matter" (I think.)
