    What are you trying to say, here? That any woman who suffers a miscarriage should be charged with manslaughter?

    I see. So, you know your beliefs have been proved false, vicious and evil, so you are trying to change the subject. Check.

    A commonly accepted solution is impossible because some people don't accept other people having rights to liberty and pursuit of happiness.

    Fentanyl with THC? That's a new one on me. Just goes to show how sick and evil marijuana prohibition is.

    If the jury had anyone on it who cared about reason, justice, or liberty, the vote would be determined by the equal individual rights of all to pursuit of happiness.

    Voting is the alternative to government by violence. If you take away people's ability to vote, you give them the right to oppose the government by violence. It's that simple.
