An open warning

[fpb]

To anyone who might feel like defending abominations such as baby-murder and the State murder of the old and sick: be reminded that this blog is my space. I decide what goes in and out; and while I allow all my friends to say what they think or feel, I will not, on principle, leave in any defence of what I regard as crime. If you want to defend crime, do it in your own space and don't bother me; all you will get otherwise is deletion and banning.

That’s quite true, and the dishonest rhetoric of the anti-abortion side disgusts me even more, because, frankly, it makes me ashamed to have some of these people agreeing with me. If you make a sufficiently fatuous argument for your position, you will eventually persuade people that your position itself is wrong, whether it is or not.

I think, though, that it speaks volumes about the fundamental nature of this issue that neither side wants to use the word ‘abortion’ when discussing it. There’s something deeply wrong when nobody wants to discuss the matter except in euphemisms, and yet one side claims it as a fundamental right.
