- Yeah, the "if the procedure were outlawed in the U.S." part is a big caveat. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 12:12 1

- Thanks. Seems a dumb statement by him, but what do I know, he survives everything else. - ty97 Mar 30, 12:06 2
  - It's an illustration of how poorly thought out his ideas are. He hasn't thought about the issue at all. -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 12:08 1
    - He's too busy speechifying. Once he gets to the big house, he'll figure all this policy crap out -- nm - decline Mar 30, 12:10
You can argue ideological consistency all you want, it's still a barbaric idea. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 11:58
