Why do rational people come up with stupid suggestions?

1. Well, since he's anatomically exempt from needing women's health care

we know what his opinion on it is worth and where he can stick it. You can't "spin off" an essential part of our health care. Although we regret having to use abortion services, we know they save lives. After all, we regret needing other life saving things like gallbladder surgery, too. None of it will make anybody's day.

Now notice I don't call your friend an idiot, he's unlikely to be one. He's just going to sound like one when he steps too far out of his area of expertise, something I think we've all experienced from time to time. You might caution him about this, or you might not. Women's health is not his area of expertise and I suggest he do more listening than talking.
