random thought of the moment:
Life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and hairballs and things and you gotta clean it out. You gotta stick it in here and rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes life sticks to the floor so much that a mop, a mop, it’s not good enough.

You gotta run to a window and say, These floors are dirty as hell, and I’m not gonna take it any more!

Having used what he believes to be sound reasoning to implicate NFP in avoidable embryo deaths, he then entertains some possible pro-life responses. Since there's little actual reasoning in Bovens arguements, I'd just as soon skip […]
