For what it's worth, Jefferson's on the record (in the Notes on Virginia) admiring Native women for being so resourceful on the abortion question: "They raise fewer children than we do. The causes of this are to be found, not in a difference of nature, but of circumstance. The women very frequently attending the men in their parties of war and of hunting, child-bearing becomes extremely inconvenient to them. It is said, therefore, that they have learnt the practice of procuring abortion by the use of some vegetable; and that it even extends to prevent conception for a considerable time after." https://bavatuesdays.com/thomas-jefferson-on-abortion/ Note the absence of shock or judgment of any kind.

"I may have to reconsider my decision to even bother to explain things to you next time something like this happens."

Dare to dream Roy...

I could be wrong ( I often am)

and who really knows about other people's sex lives, but I suspect the intimate moments in the McMeagan household consist of Mister McMeagan shoving the $20 bills (that he stole out of his wife's purse) into Crystal's G string down at the Diamond's Gentleman's Club and the associated furtive handjob in the Champagne Room later on while Mrs. McMeagan stays home alone leaning up against ridiculously expensive small kitchen appliances as she cycles through the various speeds.
