David Roberts Retweeted CS Monitor

Yes, one extreme wants to provide medical care to women. One extreme wants to kill those people. Both sides, really. https://twitter.com/csmonitor/status/671066337016422400 …

Colorado shootings point to abortion debate dominated by extremes http://trib.al/jOkfnYP

      @drvox @normative @csmonitor A characterization of the extremes based on begging the central question is *sure* to help advance the debate.

      @mjpost @normative @csmonitor True, I didn't leave open the possibility that the PP killings were justified. I await your case.

      @drvox On further thought, my def. is neutral, not begging. But I haven't left open that the fetuses deserved it. I await your case :)

      @mjpost Fetuses are not yet moral agents to which the concept of desert sensibly applies.

      @drvox Yes, well, that's the crux of the debate, isn't it? gosnell or peter singer would be fairer depictions of pro-choice extreme

      @drvox @mdtoorder @csmonitor lately compassion to women is an extreme stance to take.

      @drvox @EcksLibris FFS, providing abortions is not an extreme position, it is legal and boringly medical.

    @drvox @normative This is dumb. Are you conflating the words "extremes" and "extremists"?

      @drvox @wilw Please explain to the Brit how providing medical care is an extreme position? Or do PP kidnap unwilling people to treat them?

    @drvox @wilw Thank you, @drvox. I am so tired of this polite agreement that there's some kind of moral equivalence between the two sides.

    @drvox @Patbagley @csmonitor I don't think the Monitor understands the meaning of the word extreme

    @drvox @wilw Which is why a pro aborttion advocate tried to firebomb protesters. Clearly Planned Parenthood is responsible for that.

    @drvox @csmonitor there's a problem as long as extremists on one side can't concede the right of others to act legally based on theirs.
