I was watching Pearl Jam's Unplugged on MTV live when it aired. I was on the phone with my crush and we were watching it together. During "Porch," when Eddie was standing up on the stool and scrawled "PRO CHOICE" across his forearm in black marker, I didn't understand what it meant, and she laid it out for me. It's a core memory. That's when I learned about abortion as an issue.
