Two great pro-life pieces

Another excellent piece by the consistently-impressive Erika Bachiochi on Public Discourse today, 40 Years Later:  How to Undo the Automony Argument for Abortion Rights.  She notes that it's the 40th anniversary of Judith Jarvis Thompon's "violinist" argument for abortion rights, tracing the knots abortion rights advocates have gotten themselves in over the years clinging to that analogy.

Erika's piece also links to one by the equally consistently-impressive Helen Alvare, which I somehow missed when it appeared in January:  The Lazy Slander of the Pro-Life Cause.

If any of you are sending kids off to college in the next few weeks, do them a favor and make them read these columns -- it'll arm them with some powerful arguments for those late-night b.s. sessions.
