Explanation:
George Tiller and the Paradox of Anti-Abortion Violence
How is logic chilling? Reject a premise, Jake, and you will be fine.
"Chillingly logical" ? Which part scares you? The logic's precision, or the inevitable consequences? Logic is one of the few things in life that will never betray you, so long as you never betray it. If there is a premise you don't accept, then the logic will lead you to the truth from there.
As for convincing the pro-life militants to drop the rhetoric, do you really think that's a viable solution (no pun intended)? Even if they ceased speaking the way they do about abortion , people would still think violent opposition to abortion is justified. When Che Guevara said "Shoot you coward, for what you kill is only a man," he was saying you can't kill an idea. If you think the pro-life militants' side would save doctors ' lives by not calling abortion murder, I think you're being naive. But I have an open mind. I'm listening.
