🤦

Republican lawmakers in Texas have once again introduced a bill that tries to shove fetal personhood into carpool lane regulations. This time, however, the bill passed the House after an amendment from Democrats to include all mothers, whether their children are in the car or not. The dangerous proposal that could further entrench the idea of personhood into state law now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Hey quick question, who are you quoting there? Cuz neither of those phrases appeared in my comment. So I was just curious who you were supposed to be quoting. Surely you weren't just making up quotes for me and then making arguments based on those made up quotes right?

Awww you're too afraid to actually be consistent with your point in the presence of a percieved mistake from someone else.

I don't think it's a perceived mistake if someone explicitly misquotes you and then makes arguments based on those explicit misquotes. That's neither perceived nor mistake.

However if there's a portion of my argument you'd like to question me about I'd be happy to Enlighten you.
