Can you imagine the fuss if an art exhibit removed a controversial work because it offended Christians? But if it might offend Muslims, they pull the plug. The threat of violence works, you see. And some liberal art-curators are only too keen to buckle under.
ANOTHER BLOGGER GETS THE BOOT: Awful news from England’s Sword, Iain Murray. He just got fired from his day job for blogging. And that’s his sole source of income. (All I got was an entry on the Raines blacklist.) You can give him moral or other support here.
“ANTI-CHOICE”: “You complain about the “constant use of the term ‘anti-choice'” by the pro-choice left. Well, you are anti-choice when you take choice away from people, that’s just basic English. That you have a moral (or legal) basis for taking those choices away doesn’t get you out from under that basic description; that’s part of where the rhetorical power of the term comes from, i.e., truth. In contrast, the left is correct to chafe against the term “pro-abortion” assigned to them by the right, because the left’s efforts do not have an increasing abortion rate as their goal, but rather the widest possible protection of an person’s autonomy as embodied in law. We can all disagree about how broad those protections should be, but the pro-choice movement is quite improperly labeled “pro-abortion.” – more dissent on the Letters Page.
