You Cannot Do Only One Thing.

In A Competitive World Of Limited Resources, Total Freedom Of Individual Action Is Intolerable

In The Specific Case Of Abortion, The Matter Is Particularly Easy In That No Woman Wants A Late Abortion. Once Abortion Was Made Legal, The Age Of The Aborted Fetus Went Down. The Slope Slipped In The Other Direction. If We Legalize Ru-486 And Other Similar New Drugs, The Age Will Fall To One Week Or Less And Start Approaching Zero. The Slippery Slope Will Slide In The Other Direction. The Only Reason We Have Late Abortions Is Because We Make Early Abortion Difficult.

Every Plausible Policy Must Be Followed By The Question 'and Then What?'

Why Are Ecologists And Environmentalists So Feared And Hated? This Is Because In Part What They Have To Say Is New To The General Public, And The New Is Always Alarming.

However, I Think The Major Opposition To Ecology Has Deeper Roots Than Mere Economics; Ecology Threatens Widely Held Values So Fundamental That They Must Be Called Religious.
