- You were doing great Kevin, until you bit the bait. You went through a
- systematic point-for-point debunking of small subset of a long list of
- bogus arguments and then proceeded to get sucked into nit-picking. This
- is exactly why these specious arguments are so insidius! They distract
- people from the real issue - abortion kills children.

- Giving SJM the benefit of the doubt, I would characterize him as being
- duped, as are millions in this country. Rhetoric and techniques of
- persuasion are much more powerful dictators of public opinion than truth.
- SJM just passes along the rhetoric. His feeble attempts to explain
- himself beg the question, "why are these specious arguments so rampant in
- the pro-abortion camp?" The answer is simple - if you argue against them
- you legitimize them - raise them to the level worthy of reasoned debate.
- In other words Kevin, you've been had.
