    Doesn’t really matter because I can see what direction they’re going. This started off being about abortion of a fetus with Roe being overturned. Now we’re talking about embryos and fertilization. The egg and sperm are only one more step away.

    The act of creating that embryo could be the next thing they put into law. I could see the religious extremists wanting sex outside of marriage to be illegal. That sounds crazy to me, but again, that’s what direction this argument is going.

          From one of the best Monty Python sketches ever, IMHO (but sadly not quite the cultural reference as things like the dead parrot one)

      Yeah I get that. I’m gay. They talk about making “sodomy” illegal again. But any time that people take things to extremes that are not true it hurts the people making the correct arguments.

        I completely understand wanting to keep the discussion based in logical facts. It can be difficult to do when the other side is always arguing in bad faith. On the flip side, inaccuracies help drive discussions on social media and it got us talking with each other.
