At Some Point

I have not. So calm yourself for a while.

No, you just took a phrase:
"If you put the money into clinics like the ones Texas shot in the head, then Republicans claim they're performing abortions (even though a minority even have plans for that)."

Which expressed the no-win scenario of dealing with fear-culture-abusing partisans.

And you responded with "Well I think abortion is..."

How can that NOT be seen as a deflection aimed at the sourced statement?

We're not fucking discussing the ethics of abortion, we're discussing Republicans cutting funding to Texas' low-income family planning clinics.

In other words, there was no precursor, no heads up discussion, nothing.

Ergo, your statement is more likely to be a deflection-styled answer to the ethics of abortion when I'm not even talking about that.

Hence, 'obtuse fuck'.

What you post is what you post and is all I can respond to.

Thumbing your nose at "what you could have posted" is no more threatening than the local preacher telling me I am "going to Hell".

No worries.
