- Petie, in his flame of Justice Blackmun, writes in the tradition of
- etus fanatics making their case based on bizarre equivalences:
-
- >>A more relevent question might be: do unborn children have any right
- >>to steal the resources of the mother?
- >
- > Are you in favor of the
- >death penalty for somnambulatists who commit theft?
-
- somnambulist == /z/e/f/
-
- theft of property == theft of bodily resources by occupation of body
- of victim against that victim's will
-
- I reject both equivalencies as trivially false; they dont't even
- qualify as analogous comparisons.
