As an adverb (hysterically), it’s in the OP, describing the degree to which Bobby Franklin is “pro-life.” The next usage is, in fact, Bricker’s, in post 53.
In its adjectival form, as posted by you, it’s margin in post 71.
Please try to restrain any impulses you may have to snicker dickishly about that, zut.
For reference, I’m not calling you hysterical because you’re a woman. I"m calling you hysterical because you’re acting goddamn hysterical. And to get your goat, because frankly you have shot up to my top ten “least coherent posters” list between this thread and the Roethlisberger one.
In point of fact, I actually suspect you of being a Poe’s Law satire of over-the-top feminism, because I haven’t met anyone as batshit as you are in years.
If it’ll make you feel any better I’ll refer to you as a “shrieking looney” from now on. I do stand by my other previous assessment–shut your pie hole, adults are talking.
Sure. If the complaint were, “In reading this awful bill, I just realized: Georgia already requires the reporting of spontaneous fetal deaths! That’s terrible!” then I’d be fine, and would have nothing to say. I think this requirement is of highly dubious value, and if it’s intended to provide a mechanism to go after mothers who give birth to a live infant and then stuff the infant in a storm drain, there are better ways to do it.
I don’t agree that hysteria or hysterical are seen by the vast majority of audiences as being gender-specific discriminatory terms. You didn’t react to the term as used in the OP:
Nor did anyone else, because the term does not carry with it any of the meanings you urge upon it.
No problem, and thank you for the kind words. Looking back, i think I was being a bit too… Socratic, perhaps, in my approach. I would have fared better if I laid out, clearly and specifically, “This is the current law,” and “This is the proposed law.”
I’ve been using this argument for years, and the anti-aborts always poo-poo it. But if abortion is murder, every miscarriage would have to be investigated. Msny the prenant woman drank coffee or wine, took an asprin, or mentioned she had doubts about her pregnancy.
In the book Intern, the author explains that if any woman came into the emergency room claiming she miscarried, the attending doctor had better find some untainted fetal tissue to proe it was an abortion. They had to report all suspected abortions to the police, so they could find the person who was doing them and arrest them.
That is, in my experience, highly variable depending on the specific social group.
More to the serious point, I am skeptical that even a siginificant minority of people in the 2000s KNOWS that hyster- has roots in the Greek for “Uterus”.
