MCU: Flamebaity fanfic idea

Premise: Random Reporter asks Steve Rogers "What's your opinion on abortion?" Hilarity culture shock ensues.

One can assume Steve got a thick FAQ and orientation classes along the lines "Your Handy Guide to the 21st Century", but he couldn't possibly be prepared for everything. OTOH if his SHIELD handlers had an ounce of sense, they'd have advised him to have an answer for that question, not to mention a plan for when every tea party and other right wing group in the country tries to co-opt his patriotism into their vision of how America should be.

Personally, I think he'd take a fallback position on the first question along the lines of "Not being a woman, I can't answer that." I can't imagine he'd have a very high opinion of the heirs of Father Conklin either.

Anyway, its way too political for me to write it.

And don't forget that his mom was a nurse too. While it may not have been a subject for dinner table conversation, he would have had a bit more knowledge than most average folk in his time.

Not to mention any comments from his man-slut pal Bucky...
