Heywood is too much of a coward to address me, so he'll probably skip over this comment, but this right here tells me everything I need to know about his position. It's so sad.
Here we have a man, who has never been pregnant, and is not a doctor, and has no relevant training or experience at all, pretending to know things he can't possibly know about a case he's only barely heard of. How does he attempt to nullify Losty's case? "You don't know." But neither does he, a fact he's curiously avoided mentioning here.
It's the same theist logic we hear, over and over: "You don't know, so I must be right."
Everything is just opinions, so everything is equal... except for his opinion.
I'm still stuck on the speculum thing that came afterwards. I'm no expert, but I have never heard of a speculum being used to dilate the cervix for an abortion or a delivery. Why would women ever choose to spend hours in labor if you could just stick a speculum in and pry open the cervix super quick? I don't think that's a real option.
