It has been extraordinarily bemusing, on the one hand, to watch Planned Parenthood affirm the personhood of the in utero child with their franctic distancing of themselves from the trade in foetal organs revealed in the videos.
And it has been disappointingly bemusing, on the other hand, to watch the pro-lifers using the video revelations only to condemn late-term abortions, as if earlier abortions are OK.
It must be repeated and repeated and repeated, that there is no difficulty or problem for which an acceptable solution is the deliberate killing of an innocent person.
