His latest bit of bad faith can be found here. For the record: (1) The First Things essay to which I linked yesterday goes through several moral distinctions that separate abortion from the murder of an adult, as any fair-minded reader will see. (2) I have never said (and do not believe) “that the government has in principle an obligation and right to police the private sexual lives of all its citizens to prevent them from sliding into ‘immorality’”–that’s pure invention on Sullivan’s part. (3) I have already come out against the South Dakota bill, which is the latest irrelevancy Sullivan is using to distract attention from his record of misrepresentation.
