[net.abortion] When is it OK to kill human beings?

he thinks that anyone who believes that it is all right to kill
a human being under some circumstances must thus believe it is
OK to kill a human being under any circumstances.  Thus, anyone
who believes in capital punishment, the right to self defense,
just wars, etc., must therefore believe in the right of anybody
to kill anybody else.  I think that this sets a new height of
ridiculousness even for this often ridiculous newsgroup.

Please forgive the multiple submissions as I was not aware of the
line eater.
I cannot believe that Mike Dolan is serious.  Apparently, he thinks
that anyone who believes that it is O. K. to kill human beings
under some circumstance must also believe that it is O. K. to
kill human beings under any circumstance.  Thus, anyone who
believes in capital punishment, self defense, just wars, etc.,
must also believe that it is O. K. to kill anyone for any reason.
I think that this sets a new height of ridiculousness even in this
often ridiculous newsgroup.
