Re: Supreme Court upholds Partial Birth Abortion Ban
The introduction of vivid descriptions of the procedure doesn't illuminate the debate. The only light is from the flames.
I could troll through a series of handbooks on surgical procedures and describe them in vivid detail and have the average reader reaching for a bucket in which to vomit. Yet each of those procedures, which would cause revulsion because I could describe them so that the reader's mind would develop a mental multimedia presentation, would be designed to restore the patient to health. So what's the point of describing abortion procedures? It's merely to bludgeon your opponent. It's pure propaganda and a logical fallacy, using emotive words.
I could do the same in a debate on the death penalty. I hope I never do though.
