BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

Thankfully, the Polish doctor who was arrested for providing a medically necessary later abortion has had her criminal investigation dropped. Prosecutors deemed that she did not violate Poland’s strict abortion laws. An anti-choice fanatic who attacked her is facing criminal charges for assault.
