Dislike the fact you don't stand up to your peers here? Isn't that just too bad, you don't think I fight fair. You're bogus from the get go, Snotty.
Oh, I'll wake tomorrow but not near as small as you are right now.
I said give me your best shot. You haven't done it? Frightened?
No, slightly amused at what you become when you’re angry, but not scared.
I know you're not scared. Then give me your best shot. C'mon.
I'm waiting, Horace. Your best shot. Just say it so we can begin to bury the hatchet. I'm sick of this and you.

I don’t know what you’re anticipating I might be holding back. Whatever your conscience tells you, that’s exactly it. Just imagine I said it. And then imagine a leaden silence as everybody allows it to sink in. Then, a slow clap. First one person. Then another, until the peanut gallery is roaring their appreciation of my one great and final shot in this, the greatest of all TNCR battles.
Education is extremely important.

No, I don't think anyone is drunk here. We are both being deliberately belligerent. It's all good though. I'll have to prove that I'm not passive aggressive. Horace doesn't have to prove anything. That's all right by me.
I think the what's his name you refer was Jack, Madame K's husband. Whatever happened to him?

He got rolled by Madame K.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Hit him with her rolling pin? Threw him out?
You could say she threw him out. According to Jack, she blindsided him with a divorce, leaving him to reassemble the pieces of his life, in his 60s. Apparently, he had taken his wedding vows seriously.

I just have never understood this argument. It’s not “their bodies”… The fetus has it’s own unique genetic blueprint, separate and different that the mother. It’s not “your body” it’s a completely separate body inside another.
Me neither, and I’m pro-choice.
Though I would slightly change your formulation and say it’s not just their bodies.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

On the Renauda-Horace feud, I found this bit, from an essay by 19th-century essayist William Hazlitt called “On the Pleasure of Hating.”
"Nature seems made of antipathies. Without something to hate, we should lose the very spring of thought and action … Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: Hatred alone is immortal."
As the Slingblade guy would say, "Mm-hmm."

As time passes and science advances, " my body, my choice" is rapidly losing its effectiveness. As you have pointed out, genetics points out that the baby is a unique human in its own right. As such, it inherits those natural rights bestowed upon any other person.
Secondly, the age of in vitro viability has wound its way down to around 22 weeks.
