Pro-Choice Writer Gets It

Megan McArdle at The Atlantic gets it (H/T: DarwinCatholic):
If you interpret this murder as a political act, rather than that of a lone whacko, then this should be a troubling sign that the political system has failed. So why do so many people think that the obvious answer is simply to more firmly entrench laws that are rightly intolerable to someone who thinks that a late term fetus is a person? [Emphasis added.]
My pro-choice readers would no doubt enjoy this piece by a fellow pro-choicer with a different point of view.

I don't pretend to know her or her work well, but she reminds me a little of Camille Paglia only in the sense that she seems to be able to analyze and reason clearly.

I would likely strongly disagree with both of those authors when it came to their conclusions on the sanctity of life. However, I much prefer that to enduring the illogical tantrums thrown by a lot of knee-jerk partisans.
