Burning Hypotheticals [Ramesh Ponnuru]
I got a lot of good emails in response to my post the other day about the old burning-fertility-clinic scenario. My favorite one:
In response to the dog-eared pro-choice "fire-in-the-fertility-clinic" argument, would it be too flippant or simplistic to simply refer to the old "women-and-children-first" maxim? Even though the maxim may be dated (and is now considered by some to be sexist, I'm sure), I think it is clear to most it that never implied that it is permissible to kill adult males.
