I’m with Andy. I really can’t stand the kind of argument Derb reprints below. Most of the time it’s offered, it strikes me as borderline bad faith because it simply fails to acknowledge the other side’s core principles and assumptions.

By the same logic, euthanasia is quite obviously profamily in that it alleviates struggling children and grandchildren from the burden of caring for their aging parents. Infanticide for “special needs” children is also pro-family in the same way.

I’m perfectly fine conceding that abortion would help to alleviate some of the problems associated with single motherhood, but I don’t see why people so often think this is a blockbuster argument that’s going to change peoples’ minds.
