Why This Matters

In the late 1970s, the author was torn between their role as an underground abortion referral service and a stand-up satirist who performed jokes about rape.

AI-Generated Summary

In the late 1970s, the author was torn between their role as an underground abortion referral service and a stand-up satirist who performed jokes about rape. After Roe vs Wade legalized abortion, they believed it would never be made illegal again, but in 2012, they became disillusioned with the right-wing religious conservative movement's attempts to re-criminalize reproductive rights. The author eventually dropped a controversial joke that involved the "rape-in" of legislator's wives after receiving backlash from feminist friends. In July 2012, a woman who prefers to remain anonymous went to a comedy club and sparked widespread controversy by expressing her disapproval of rape jokes being performed at the venue.

As the content of the redacted areas has been intentionally hidden, it's not possible to provide specifics about the visible text or any people, locations, or significant objects within those sections. The document appears to be official in nature, possibly a legal or governmental record, given the formality and structure of the layout.
