EXCERPT FROM “THE BILLY & GILLY SHOW,” JANUARY 3RD

Billy: Well, Gilly, there are a lot of pros and cons involved. Abortion is a touchy subject.

Gilly: Obviously. I realize there is a definite question of morality involved. But there are also human considerations.

Billy: No matter what the circumstances, Gilly, you are taking a life when you perform an abortion.

Gilly: I know, Billy, but suppose the pregnancy endangers the mother’s life. Or suppose the mother is a teenage rape victim. Look, those are only two examples. There are lots of others.

Billy: It’s not an easy thing to decide.

Gilly: I mean, I can feel for these poor women you read about who have to go to some sleazy practitioner—someone who’s doing that sort of thing on the side, and has all these dirty instruments and everything.

Billy: I don’t think there’s much question that the law needs to be liberalized. The problem is how. And how much?

Gilly: You have a real talent for summing up, Billy.

Billy: Thank you, dear. I think one of your most sterling qualities is your ability to make a man feel important.

Gilly: Oh, but you are. I think all you men are just terribly important.

Billy: We’re all grateful.

Gilly: Actually, Billy, a panel discussion on abortion would make a very interesting show.

Billy: I think that’s a first-rate idea, hon. We could have someone from the church and, perhaps, a representative from the medical society.

Gilly: There’s only one problem.

Billy: What’s that?

Gilly: I’m afraid we might have a little trouble finding an abortionist.
