No, I didn't. I said I think you're overlooking the difference between seeking to express one or the other of the views I described in the law. I think that because the points you made give no indication that you're addressing the latter type of expression, only the former. And while I realize that you *don't* believe society has a legitimate interest in protecting pre-viable fetuses, I'm still responding to the part where you called "crazy" a position rooted in the belief that it does.
Yes, that clarifies things.
I had conceded that, if my understanding of the law was incorrect, the original statement was "reasonable" - i.e., "not crazy", but still, IMHO, wrong due to other circumstances.
