From the page: "For Spartans, "unwanted" meant "substandard." For us, it means "inconvenient." We don't want standard or even super-standard children if they cramp our style."

George Tiller, the 67-year-old physician shot last week in Wichita, Kan., was an abortionist. His suspected killer, identified by the press as Scott Roeder, 51, also felt entitled to decide whose life to terminate and when. To this extent at least, killers of abortionists resemble their victims.Some people might object that there is a fundamental difference. Abortion is legal, while killing abortionists isn't. This is true -- at least, it's true today, although not long ago a medically unnecessary abortion was every bit as illegal as a medically unnecessary assassination. Killers of fetuses stayed behind bars for shorter periods than killers of physicians, but the law viewed both as felons.The law continues viewing the killing of abortionists as a felony, and rightly so, but has come to regard the abortion of fetuses as a private matter between unborn children and their mothers. Will our grandchildren say we were enlightened or barbaric?--Smart article. Uses a very good tactic against the red herring of saying that a man can't argue against abortion because he isn't a woman.To put it in terms a liberal might grasp:Can a man argue against slavery if he isn't a plantation owner?How about a black man?What if the black man isn't allowed to argue for himself. May a white man argue on the black man's behalf on the basis of their common humanity?That brings the issue right back around to where it should be argued, between those of us who say that the black man is human and those who say the fetus isn't.
