- No, I leave that to you. I notice that you still haven't answered the

- Sure you are. But I'm not claiming that you didn't support your somewhat
- bizarre beliefs regarding Roe v. Wade, I'm just pointing out that you
- supported it with speculation. And I pointed to evidence that showed the
- speculation to be baseless. You, on the other hand, are now claiming that
- my support is speculation while at the same time you're claiming that my
- statements are unsupported. (How you can reconcile these two conflicting
- beliefs is beyond me.) And you've not shown any evidence to the contrary,
- all you're doing is attacking the source.
