How should his case or Aafia Siddiqui’s be handled differently? If there are no alternatives to the current process, then I guess we’re stuck with it, aren’t we? What <i>are</i> the alternatives, in your view? I guess what I'm looking for is "constructive" criticism.Doughlas Remyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421275276424774845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33424426.post-47130699909465803622010-01-26T18:03:01.784-08:002010-01-26T18:03:01.784-08:00John,

As to the first part of your response to Go...Gil, <br /><br />As to the first part of your response to Gordon, you've hit on a key reason, besides the obvious moral ones, why the pro-life movement must unfailingly eschew all forms of violence against those who facilitate and perform abortions. Such conduct, by creating more victims, hands the pro-abortionists and their champions among the MSM more smoke and mirrors with which to obfuscate the real issue. Remember the NYTimes lede when G Tiller was murdered?: "George Tiller...was shot to death here Sunday in the foyer of his longtime church as he handed out the church bulletin."<br /><br />Also, as long as you're in an answering mood, perhaps you’ll let us know when YOUR next book is coming out?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733764944112724366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33424426.post-70492428855227612572010-01-26T13:18:17.488-08:002010-01-26T13:18:17.488-08:00That's the one.

It is a remarkable book, but it takes time and thought. It is vintage Girard. There are a few (very few) shortcomings, but they are far, far outweighed by the grand sweep of the book. It is often riveting.Gil Bailiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481878663941134090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33424426.post-77469318049700816482010-01-26T12:35:23.040-08:002010-01-26T12:35:23.040-08:00Thanks, Gil.

Part of the answer for the moral blindness is that it has been attached to an ostensible effort to champion another set of victims: women. It's sin taking advantage of the Gospel imperative to identify with victims. Another part of the answer is that unborn children are completely faceless and voiceless. Our task is to give them a voice and -- thanks to imaging technology -- their faces have begun to emerge. <br />The chess game between truth and violence will continue to the end.Gil Bailiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481878663941134090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33424426.post-29852756846807490302010-01-26T11:12:21.887-08:002010-01-26T11:12:21.887-08:00Gil,

Or is that slaughter the font of the blindness that makes “political correctness” so fogged and imprecise, so absurdly disproportionate and fanatical?Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736730702985141308noreply@blogger.com
