Am I the only conservative here?

[Davin]

That you incorrectly assumed I was angry, then to unexpectedly discover that I wasn't is a fair and reasonable application of one of the definitions of "surprised." That simply means that I am simply not wrong, simply.

Now you are projecting on me.  Discovering that one is wrong does not necessitate surprise.

I am politely withdrawing from this interminable conversation.  Neither of us convinced the other, so we are at an impasse.  Good day.

I'm not projecting on you at all, I'm simply using what you said. Have fun.

. . . but actually criminalize natural miscarriages including the normal shedding of fertilized eggs during a period in the process.

I probably do not have to ask but, which moron came up with that one, PC?

Still, twisted logic (or twisted people), might think that natural miscarriages might actually be induced by those evil, murderous  abortionist doctors!

Sick, sick, sick.

Mike Pence, Trump's VP when he signed HB 1337 into law.

Yup, that's the main one right now. Hence the Periods For Pence movement, a group of women tracking his hotline numbers so they can call in and report to Pence every time they get their period, of course with excruciating detail. We wouldn't want to be jailed for failing to report, after all! Amusing, although I doubt it's doing anything meaningful at this point in the game.

It's happened before, though. Generally if you want to write a really thorough anti-abortion law, you have to include abortive medications and self-injury to induce abortion. Which leaves no room in the law to exclude things like a fertilized egg or zygote naturally passing. Especially since many of these bills also seek to restrict how late in a term an abortion can take place. AZ, for instance, passed or was trying to pass a law that would make every woman legally pregnant several weeks before she was actually physically pregnant. I've lost track of which have been shot down or not at this point - it's not good for me to track too closely, especially in states my vote has no sway.

There is a peculiar kind of madness that America has made all of its own.

Ok, this can't be for real. I refuse to believe that there are human beings who are that intellectually challenged living today.

Oh, it's real alright.

Some of your posts do seem a little angry, Davin[...]

I get that, what I don't get is why some people's internal seeming is wrong.

I don't get it either, my internal seeming is exhaustively calibrated before I do anything social.
They're probably just wrong in the head.

I don't assume whether they are wrong or not and I am open the idea that I might be able to adjust my behavior to help. But I can't with useless statements of that kind.

I take my role as forum fool seriously even if you don't.

That's a great quote, I'm definitely using it next time someone says that atheists are fools for not believing in the Bible.
