You know, I really shouldn't play with other people's trolls. For one, it encourages them, and for another I don't have the time to devote to doing it properly. I'm sure more than one of the creatures has had its ego expanded by the assumption that I didn't have another response to its imagined brilliance, when in reality my time was consumed by things more important than tormenting random idiots on the internet.

Which is a rather long way of attempting to apologize to Jen, whose comments I may have helped turn into a nest of unreason by daring to mock one of these creatures, and of introducing the rather simple point that I was attempting to make therein, namely that if one wishes not to die from a botched abortion, there is a very simple way to avoid it: don't have an abortion.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled silence.
