I'm going to assume that you meant "but the intent/expected" instead of what you actually wrote. Since I don't think you're that stupid.

And it's the same damn thing. The act is designed to force the conclusion. And it has nothing to do with frequency, which, after all, was the point of the statement in the first place. By the logic you're using, if a terrorist kills folks in a novel way, it's not terrorism. So, yeah, that's a strawman and pretty much nonsensical. This was a political act designed to halt abortions. We both agree on that. The way that act was conduct makes it terrorism. You sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming "it's not terrorism!" at the top of your lungs doesn't make change anything.
