      Once this law passes, I think you’re in the clear as long as you get the abortion on your own property and claim self defense.

      Kind of like how in the south everything is “Coke,” but there’s different flavors like “Sprite Coke” and “Orange Coke?” (I’m not from the south so I may have gotten that wrong)

        Not quite. Coke is the general term, but nobody would refer to it as “sprite coke”. So the conversation would be more along the lines of:

        ”Hey, do you want a coke?”
        “Sure, what do you have?”
        “I’ve got Sprite, Dr Pepper, cola, Pepsi, and root beer.”
        “Oh I’ll take a Dr Pepper.”

        The first line uses “coke” as a general “soda/pop/etc” term, but notice that it isn’t used again, because they’re not referring to generalized soda/pop/coke anymore, and are being specific. And if you want a Coca-Cola brand Coke, you just ask for cola.

          Nah, we’d use “Coke” again in the third line and it’d be understood to mean specifically Coca-Cola because Pepsi was also mentioned to contrast with it. Otherwise, if we said “I’ve got Sprite, Dr Pepper, coke, and root beer" then that “coke” might be Pepsi. Either way, saying “cola” instead would be unusual.

          “Coke” can mean any soda, any cola, or Coca-Cola Classic specifically depending on context.
