    Baron could certainly give me an answer that would be satisfactory to me. You did.

    I'm not looking for an answer I agree with. I'm looking for a consistent answer from him that he's willing to defend.

    But, we've yet to find the line for him. He's drawn a line several times, and then walked away from it.

    Baron is for abortion on demand. That's a defendable position. He just refuses to say it. He wants to pretend he holds a more moderate position.

    In case you missed it, we've talked about it for days. Just watching the few people saying the same things over and over is getting old. And you and Baron are getting nowhere. There are so many other issues more at the forefront of voters' minds right now. These are just dead babies (what a vile way to assert your perceived superiority)

    It would be appropriate if this threaed ended at page 666 but it probably won't.

    You'll never get a consistent answer because his position is inherently ambiguous. His position seems to be that the mother is free to choose up until the point of viability and thereafter only if certain health exemptions (including, apparently, a mental health exemption) are met. But the problem is nobody knows or can agree upon exactly when viability begins, nor can we agree upon what exactly what level of disorder would qualify for an exemption. So the exact parameters of his position are essentially unknowable and undefined.

    We get what you're trying to do--you want to make some grand point about how he really supports abortion on demand--but you're never gonna get him to acknowledge that, and you're annoying the holy shit out of the rest of us by continually and incessantly grilling him to tell you what is essentially unknowable and undefined. Your point has already been made. So could you finally just drop it. Quit. Stop. Please?

    This doesn't make sense.

    He says he's in favor of an exemption for health, including mental health. OK. How does that statute read then? The one he says he would support.That's perfectly "knowable" and "definable."

    Jesus, Dick, are we now gonna spend the next 40 pages parsing statutory language and coming up with various and potentially endless hypotheticals to debate whether they would or would not warrant an exemption? Yeah, this could go on forever.

    At what point can we just move on? I think everybody who wanted to make their point about abortion has had ample opportunity.
