An e-mail about my View-and-abortion piece:

You wrote, “The View yesterday was painful to watch.”
I ask, “When is it not?”

Fair enough.But when a popular women’s daytime show starts to tackle the reality of abortion and then, well, aborts it, it deserves mention. Whoop Goldberg, the moderator, acted as if a little too much honest emotion had been aired. And that can’t be! So the conversation stopped. We ought to be having this conversation. Do it for the children. Do it, feminists. Do it, chivalrous men. Life deserves more than heated dead-end debates.
