Whenever I've posted on his blog he has removed the part of the comment that contains the argument.

If Dan got a small point about the "pro-choice" position wrong (and I will re-read this, as I said), that would be a minor lacuna in a very reasonable piece on this dispute.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-21879179800492287582012-08-21T15:46:25.034-04:002012-08-21T15:46:25.034-04:00BingoBingoUnlearningeconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687413107325575532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-68646254483552268792012-08-21T15:36:05.007-04:002012-08-21T15:36:05.007-04:00Maybe Brad was just playing along with Gene's ...Maybe Brad was just playing along with Gene's insult, and living up to his reputation as being unfair to his critics?Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-46783801164343942782012-08-21T10:39:12.099-04:002012-08-21T10:39:12.099-04:00I do think the post that Gene links to makes at le...I do think the post that Gene links to makes at least one bad argument: they talk about how pro-choicers have an arbitrary definition of life.<br /><br />Huh? How are we (or at least how do we exclusively) the ones with an arbitrary definition? I think the author needs to understand that "not the same as mine" and "arbitrary" do not mean the same thing, and that "the same as mine" and "not arbitrary" to not mean the same thing.Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
