Context: Both Covid vax efforts and an abortion ban in Texas making headlines were happening at once in Oct. of 2021, but me being in a small town in Indiana, not much of the outside world affects it much. (Covid and the Sept. 11 attacks were pretty much the only in recent memory to do that.) When I was getting home after a trip to CVS, I noticed a group at the corner in the way, so I approached with caution. Knowing that these can get pretty hostile, I kept nonconfrontational. But I shared this because this exchange had a small but interesting twist.
