"Bring race into it", e.g. acknowledging there is a concept called "race" and that it affects many people's opportunities and potential wealth is not "race-baiting". You would know this, if you had taken your ESL class from someone other than Bill O'Reilly, or if you had read the article I linked above discussing this very issue. I didn't say you should be ashamed of racism, because I didn't at any point accuse you of racism. You ought to be ashamed... of your poor usage of English. In an attempt to steelman your poor argument, I had offered the possibility that you maybe didn't consider the treatment of Native American women in Oklahoma to be representative of treatment of women in general in USA. Apparently I needn't have bothered, because you managed to take offense rather than taking the point. So prickly!
The prerogative of women to ingest whatever they want, at any time, just as if they were men, is precisely the topic of this discussion, in contradiction to thread parent's claim that common beliefs about pregnancy only affect women if they lack determination. If we abide sexist prosecutors' ideas about Valium and marijuana, they'll soon be convicting pregnant women for taking Tylenol.
Men are charged with assault when they assault people. Women too are charged with assault in that case, but you also want them charged with assault when they take half a Valium, because "democracy". If you think that a democracy would ever give the voters a binary choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, there is for sure no point in your taking part in any discussion. Also for some reason you still think we were ever discussing Dobbs ITT. I would suggest (against HN guidelines!) you read TFA, but at this point in the thread it's clear that wouldn't help.
It looks like you've been flaming up a storm on HN. That's not at all what this site is for, and not ok regardless of how right you are or feel you are.
Seriously not cool.
