Probably right, as is often the case. :)  

What this article does invite us to re-examine, though, is Jeanne Mancini's statement that "No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen an abortion." This should be seriously questioned.  

One of the purposes of criminal law is to impress on would-be violators the seriousness of their contemplated acts. Stealing a pair of socks can get you jail time, if your prior record is bad enough. Stealing a million will get you time, even if you're a first-timer. So what does it say about taking the life of a baby near the end of pregnancy that this is ALWAYS less costly than stealing a pair of socks? It makes those who clamor about the sanctity of life seem un-serious and politically afraid to say what they believe: that at least at the last stage of pregnancy, elective abortion is murder. Murder with never a punishment? This is an un-serious (to the point of silly) defense of human life. Notre Dame, indeed. Transfer to Columbia.
