SEVENTH CIGARETTE, 4:45pm
Still the Branford courtyard
I agree that Garry Wills should have his metaphor license revoked for comparing abortion to getting a haircut, but those throwing punches should remember that:
(a) any article that includes a sentence as silly as "Harvesting carrots, on a consistent pro-life hypothesis, would constitute something of a massacre" is pretty low-hanging fruit.
(b) the Right, as much as the Left, has a tradition of judiciously ignoring papal encyclicals. After all, cries of "Mater Si, Magistra No!" resounded in the offices of The National Review, not The Nation.
