I think at least one is drunk
Do you remember when what's-his-name used to come around drunk? It was usually on Friday nights.
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.

"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.

Maybe in years to come, she can tell her child to feel special because she didn't kill her...

“Women can’t be free if they don’t control their bodies,”
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.
Only non-witches get due process.

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.
