Theoretical question about reproductive rights.

22. And I suggest I did answer it, but not with...

an answer you like.

You want a yes or no answer, preferably no. I don't think questions like that can be answered yes or no-- there has to be some ability to adjust to unexpected circumstances. If you're making a hot speech or a rally sign, go ahead and be absolute, it's expected. But in real life when real problems and real people have to be dealt with, principles can be excellent guidance but absolutes get in the way.

"Probably no" might work because it's tough to imagine a "true progressive" who would support anti-choice laws, but not impossible. Especially since I knew a few, including my mother.

BTW, my father was fond of reminding me that the Jesuits at Fordham Law School drummed into their heads that in any discussion, first define your terms. We don't do much of that here.

Me go sleep now.
