— Ace Worth reading. Carlson, to her credit, concedes a lot of territory that a less honest hack would refuse to give an inch on.
She does start out poorly:
Margaret: Ramesh, I'm sensitive about your side criticizing mine for not jumping on the Kermit Gosnell case. By the time conservative critics were doing their criticizing, it had been covered (although I'm ashamed to say not by me; I wish I'd known what was going on but I didn't). And conservatives were covering it in the meta sense -- writing about the coverage. That's because there is no fight from the other side. None. How could anyone support what Gosnell is accused of doing, never mind the conditions of filth and neglect, or the inhumanity to both mother and child?
But there is fight from "the other side," and futhermore, most of "the other side" is fighting with silence. They know they have no good answers, no water to douse the fire out, so they've settled on the tactic of suffocating the fire, denying it oxygen.
Which is the most dishonest form of fighting, after all. Silence is an admission that they know their side is in the wrong and couldn't possibly offer any plausible argument against that obvious fact, so instead they deliberately, and knowingly, decide to keep that a secret. They know their side is wrong on this, but rather than being candid and adult about it, they engage in a conspiracy of silence.
Now, once Carlson (a dyed in the wool liberal) offers that nonsense as her opening gambit, she's much more thoughtful and candid in the rest of the discussion.
Margaret: Let me answer the question you raise: Yes, we have gone too far. Since we're talking about what we wrote, during last year's Democratic convention I wrote about how terrible it was that Democrats took out of their platform that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare." As I read the Gosnell case coverage, I've learned that late-term abortions aren't as rare as I thought. Gosnell is charged with repeatedly and openly killing babies born alive. That is something doctors who perform abortions sometimes have to contemplate. Just yesterday, a pro-life group released a video of a doctor in a Washington clinic explaining what would happen if the baby were accidentally born alive. He wasn't much different from Gosnell.Ramesh: And of course this was an issue in Illinois when President Barack Obama was a state senator. He voted against legislation to clarify that infants who survive abortions should be protected, because he worried that it was inconsistent with abortion rights. It's a vote his defenders have been trying to explain away ever since.
Margaret: This is where a constitutional law professor can go wrong, way wrong, and it's something Obama must regret. I hope he does. When I look at the law and what's happening, I see Roe v. Wade on a collision course with our own eyes. The trimester construct is set akilter anytime you go into a neonatal unit. Babies live at 20 weeks. Someone -- the court, the states -- has to deal with the viability question. Roe was meant to prohibit abortions after viability and to protect a woman's primacy to decide before that. You might not agree with that, Ramesh, but there was a balancing of rights -- those of the mother and the fetus. That line has changed, and something should be done to address that.
The other huge problem is how wide the "health of mother" exception is. It can be anything -- age, emotional health, financial condition. The loopholes are so large a nine-month pregnant woman could go through them.
Overall, it's a good exchange, in which both participants have their Adult Hats on and discuss things without a whole bunch of Perfect Bullshit talking points.
Who would have guessed that conversations are a lot more productive when conducted in the spirit of honesty? Talking points, lies, hackery, all of it, tends to be a tit-for-tat game; once one opponent starts engaging in it, the other will usually begin offering up his own dishonest rhetoric.
On the other hand, there's Tamara Holder, and her strange threat to tell on Katie Pavlich for talkin' about her behind her back.
It occurs to me that there is a possible paradigm by which honesty can be encouraged and dishonesty discouraged.
I'm going to guess here that Margaret Carlson feels that, because this is a one-on-one written discussion, she's representing herself.
Two things flow from that: 1, if you're representing yourself, you feel more strongly compelled towards honesty and candor, because you're not just offering a position -- you're offering your own honor. That is to say, your reputation is on the line.
Further, if you're representing yourself, and not your tribe, 2, you don't feel as required to act as a spokesman/mouthpiece/shyster lawyer for third parties. Which you might feel compelled to offer if you are cast in the role of "defending the left's position on abortion," that is, representing millions of persons who are not yourself. You might give yourself the excuse that you have to offer up some bullshit spin, because The Left, as a group, has essentially hired you as Crisis Communications Manager.
It's a different set of ethics that attach when you're representing yourself as opposed to a group of others.
It might be helpful in interviews and debates to push people off one paradigm (acting as loyal mouthpiece for ten million clients) and into the more interesting and honest one (acting as a mouthpiece only for your own thoughts).
Who knows, maybe Tamara Holder could have been pushed off her thoughtless nonsense if Hannity badgered her to say what her personal beliefs were. That is, strip her of the armor that allows her to say thoughtless and stupid things (the idea that she's got 10 million NARAL members dependin' on her) and force her to just speak for herself.
Probably not, of course. It's probably dumb all the way down. But hey, maybe it's a useful experiment.

Which is why the Koch brothers' "take over the media and use it to promote fiscal conservatism without all that immigration and social conservatism" stuff is going to be a non-starter, no matter how many newspapers they buy. They'll merely be imitating the legacy media they spent their money to buy.

I'd argue part of the problem is how these "Experts" are perceived in the media.
We've gone more or less through the looking glass into moral relativism especially on abortion. (Perhaps radical individualism? But it's a fine distinction moot here.)
To that end "Speaking for yourself" is useless to the news stations. It's just an opinion and an opinion is useless (I actually disagree, I believe there is more or less a morality we need to be searching for, but that's a different discussion.)
In any case. People Tamara Holder want to "speak for a group" because of this. It gives them a sense of worth, a reason to be speaking at all. (Especially since I'd imagine they buy heavily into the relativistic thinking.

Amen, we have the technology to gauge precisely when the "fetus" crosses over on cognition but for some reason we're averse to mapping that out with precision.
Why?
Yeah exactly, "choice."
My sister was born in 63 at 6 months and half or 3/4s and made it.
When is the "choice" a person?
Since I am to the point I no longer have ANY faith in the left's restraint I am in the position to default to God and considering I should have ALWAYS defaulted back to god and stopped trying to reason on HARD doctrine implicit in the book I fear I have sinned mightily.

If they ever let a non-Emmanuel bioethicist anywhere near that office I'd have your answer.
(Oh you mean journalists.)
Meh. Fuck them.
Seriously though. Someone should get TFG's opinion by showing him the "Post-Birth Abortion" paper from last year. I'd bet we could get him to support it (because he's an intellectual moron.)
I remember a conference last year where one of the people receiving the "lifetime achievement award" (for stupid I guess, I really don't know what else for) put up a list of "solved bioethics problems." Abortion was up there.
I couldn't get close enough to take her to task on that piece of bullshit. I did however take one of the other founding fathers of the field to task for it. (I may not make a career for myself, but I've made a name!)

Really?
Because I haven't seen Obama's defenders having to work very hard to "explain away" that frankly radical ultraabortion stance (far to the left of Barbara freaking Boxer!).
The reason why is that this is one of the issues where the media sensed the potential for real political harm to their idol Obama. As with other such issues, they have defensively lowered the cone of silence and resolutely refused to cover it.

They have argued that legalizing abortion was to move it away from illegal back-alley operations; their actions demonstrate that they are fine with legal back-alley operations. All they wanted were abortions, and to the devil with any other concern.

Yeah barack has NEVER "politicked" in good faith. NEVER I have NEVER seen him reach genuine consensus, and he uses what should be sealants to comity as wedges his whole career. In his defense he is an intellectual lightweight and nabob who is simply aping his Alinsky training to the nth power.
The problem is I have been a Christian for 85% of my life. I so desperately wanted to slay the collectivist dragon I cut corners on some moral questions and as I age I see those corners more and more clearly.
When I indulge in magic thinking of "fate" I sometimes wonder if God did not punish me by limiting me to one child by my wife b/c of cut corners. In my saner moments rare though they may seem thanks to my output here, I understand that is vain thinking and runs counter my belief in Clockwork Divinity.
Anyway thank you for your kind thoughts, I do know that this event and the liberal's actions on it has shaken me to my core.

yes, and what are the short and long term affects of repeated use of the abortion pill by teens whose ensdocrine system isn't fully developed?
Fox had a doc on this morning (whose name completely escapes me...he's hispanic), who is a gyno and was going crazy over this. He said the side-effects of the pill can be very serious.
Aunt Jemima Green (sorry, Jehmu, or whatever) argued how young girls need the pill for "their health." I wanted to punch that fat lib bitch in the throat.

Bboy, are you confuddling Ramesh Ponururu with Deepak Chopra, by chance??
Yes, I was. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
In my defense, I do feel like I'm trying to come down with something. Lightheaded, more than usual. And I ache all over.

Roe was meant to prohibit abortions after viability and to protect a woman's primacy to decide before that. You might not agree with that, Ramesh, but there was a balancing of rights -- those of the mother and the fetus.
This is incorrect. The balancing test was between the rights of the mother and the rights of the state governments. The fetus was never acknowledged to have any rights whatsoever (by SCOTUS).

Hey don't look at me dude, I went and got some ice cream and came back here. If the ice cream guys want to have a demo derby style settle that shit, then I might get back over there.

'Seriously, wtf. ruger has a 2MM fucking backlog??'
Yep.
Last year they stopped taking new orders for a while when they reached a backlog of only 1 Million.
This year it ballooned to a backlog 2 Million.
Shit is getting serious.
