It isn't merely lack of recognition of legality,
it's outright illegal at the federal level.
So I wonder if staff give more weight to being
legal in a state, & less to federal law.

To be fair, I was being sarcastic. I like it here, just going through turbulence.
No one has yet mentioned gay sex which the Texas AG is reported to being ready to go after. Texas AG Ken Paxton suggests defending sodomy law amid SCOTUS (reported by other sites with paywalls). we could see that mention of having had such an encounter would fall into the prohibition here as well.
Rule 6, which prohibits promotion or discussion of personal engagement in illegal activity, is primarily intended to ensure that RF doesn't hold any legal liability for such posts. The default reference is federal law, which is why encouragement of, say, smoking weed is prohibited on the forums even though it is legal in multiple states. Support for legalizing an illegal action and discussion of the legality thereof is not against the RF rules, however.
If abortion became federally banned, RF would have to default to federal law in order to cover the forum's legal bases and protect it from any liability. However, discussions of the legality of abortion as well as support for legalizing it would still be allowed.
All of this is a preliminary answer, though, since judging such a situation and ruling on it would require further context and have more details and considerations that might not be apparent at this point.

It's likely not a joking matter. There is no guarantee that an agenda-driven court will not broadly interpret "illegal sexual acts" as "illegal acts related to sexual activity."As long as no one has any sex with the fetus we are golden

You may want to review the rules because that is not one of them.
I was being totally serious...obviously!

No need ...Already been burned.
I took you seriously.
As well you should.
I'm always serious.
BTW, from what
Maybe you should read the RF rules.
I sense a failure to communicate.
Let’s not discuss this further. We will let the mods decide.
Sounds like a plan to snitch on a joke.
Very well, if you must.

It appears to be a joke, and you were not the butt of it.
This place can be a minefield
for RF's jesters. Oh, well, the occasional
bruised knuckles are the price we pay.
Seriously, not discussing this, with him or you. Let the mods deal with it.

Okay, I like both of you guys so I will drop it.
Some people can't tell when it's Trump being mocked.
Or is that what offends?

Would have been something more specific than that, because I have spoken various government this-and-that before.
So you may want to review the rules and ask a mod for any clarification.
