Posner’s a gun grabber as well.

You read enough Posner (and you'll never find enough time to read everything he's written) and you'll find the most outrageous moral relativism/economic analysis/legal theories in the world. It's what he does and some of it is brilliant. He's primarily an academic economist far beyond the 'Freakonomics' mold. I
He's moderate to liberal as a Republican judge.
Among other topics, I've been interested in his work on whether it should be lawful to sell babies.

“Consent” is an archaic social construct, part of the oppressive white, male, Eurocentric, Judeo-Christian patriarchy.

Planned Parenthood teaches children about BDSM and “safe words” because they want girls to know that “’no’ doesn’t ALWAYS mean ‘NO!’”.
Planned Parenthood is pro-rape. It’s good for business they are in (financially and culturally).
Planned Parenthood has repeatedly been shown to cover up known or suspected instances of rape and child abuse.

Well, I don’t doubt that this would be part and parcel of any “reparations” agenda.

I'm not sure if the author of this article was totally disingenuous or just ignorant, but this article does not convey what Posner's book is really about. It's about slamming Posner (or Reagan), or just getting readers through salacious content, and it is not an honest or informed piece about the book.
Posner's book is an examination of an economic theory versus a moral theory as a basis for legislation and law. His analysis was detailed, including "thinking about the unthinkable" as part of his discussion. His discussion about rape was generally intended to show that, even under an economic theory, laws against rape would still be efficient. There are flaws in his argument, as is shown in his discussion of marital rape, but he was not advocating "rape licenses."
I'm not trying to defend Posner. I don't know what he really believes about this stuff -- maybe he is completely amoral, or immoral. Maybe he is so set on economic theory that moral issues don't even enter his mind. But because Posner is analyzing the economic theory versus the moral theory of law, his disucssion is per se amoral.
But this article is about the book and his discussion from the book, and the article skims over the abstract theories Posner was discussing in the book to throw out phrases like "rape license" and "right to rape" without bothering to explain what the discussion was really about.
I disagree entirely with Posner on the economic theory versus the moral theory, but I don't need to scream "rape license" to combat against his intellectual theories.

And I suppose you’d have to throw out the soft little thigh bones and skulls and gristly stuff in hefty bags, at which point we’d have to object to the plastic.

If they are environmentally responsible they will have a compost bin or a collection bin to send the remains to burn in a environmentally friendly power generating facility.
