Yeah, I think I have a little insight into the situation that you might not. How horrible of me.
So seeing protests live (which I have seen as well) and local news coverage make you an expert the likes of which we can never hope to aspire to?

You might have a little more insight into this particular situation, I'll grant you that. We then started talking about the link between abortion and religion. We moved from the specific (this one incidence) to the much wider issue. Your insight into this particular doctor, in this particular town, does not make you an expert on the topic of the relation between abortion and religion in general, on the wider issue.

Quite frankly I'm not really sure where your attitude is coming from. Clearly I've said something offensive. I was interested in talking about religion and abortion. But you have quickly turned this into a "no one else can comment on this because they don't live here" stance.

WTF?
