Not sure why you are calling me dismissive.

just because
I covered "elective" abortions with "just because". Haven't we been bombarded with what a woman does with/to her body is nobody else's business and they don't need to justify a reason? How would you classify that...?
I also gave a nod to the myriad reasons they may make such a choice, without spelling out particulars. That seems to be what pro abortion folks want.

I know this is tough for you to understand...just because you...or RedDenver... say so does not make it true. I implied nothing of the sort, and you didn't read my other posts contextually.He's calling you dismissive because you're being dismissive. You're dismissing the idea that there can be any other abortion reason that's justified. It's ok to admit you're being dismissive. "Just because" implies the reasons for the abortions aren't good/justified. If you don't understand that you don't have a good grasp of the English language.
Did you honestly not know what @DevoHusker meant?I'm calling out your attempt to be dismissive of any other reasons based on the language you used in your post. It has nothing to do with knowing you as I can read what you've written.
And I especially like where you assert that your point is true - again without anything to back it up but your own personal view while simultaneously accusing me of bickering based on my personal view - that's rich.
The last couple of pages is a really good example of why Dems can’t make much progress in red states.
Did you honestly not know what @DevoHusker meant?
Yes. The FoxNews that claim liberals are whiny “know it alls” that will never be happy…Fox News et al is why Dems will never make progress in Red states. Let's not kid ourselves.
Do you honestly not see the point @RedDenver, @Moiraine and I are making?
I see it. I just don’t see the point of you making the point.
You get my point?
Okay. Maybe you didn't understand what Devo was saying...I get your point and I think you're dead wrong. Treating these women who, often against their will, have to go through an incredibly emotional and harrowing experience like they're doing it on a whim is a bad thing.
The idea that women blithely get an abortion is a key fallacy for those who vote to ban abortions.
Okay. Maybe you didn't understand what Devo was saying...
You don't know. And worse, don't care. I explained my point, but as usual, you dismiss it and say you know.my intention better than I do myself.He lumped those women into "just because." Twice. Even after being informed that people find that phraseology unkind.
There's a thousand ways to describe the reasons women get abortions. That was a choice.
I'm reasonably certain I know what he's saying. Maybe you don't know what he's saying.

How long ago was it that you flat out called me a liar??
There seems to be only one or two "offended". I was even told I don't understand the English language. Why in the world would I apologize to you?Were you told that people felt, despite your explanation, that lumping 97% of abortions into "just because" sounded offensive? Yes.
Did you modify your approach? No. You didn't apologize or offer to change. You dug in your heels and now you're doubling down. It's everyone else's fault that your choice of phrase was not well received.
