- Since this is talk.abortion Kebbin, it should be self evident to any
- thinking person that the bodily autonomy mentioned is specifically
- that of a person, and legally protected. But if it'll make you happy,
- here:
- In order to have bodily autonomy, as it relates to legal protection
- and the issue of abortion, it is first neecessary to be a person.
-
- Happy now Kibble?
- My language may have been 'loose' Kebin, but at least I'll correct it.
- Are you now ready to admit that you were incorrect in your usage of the
- word 'schizophrenia' instead of 'mpd'? If not, you are simply
- displaying your hypocrisy again.
