My intent was to be shocking with the three points by using cold reasoning. For instance, facing up to #2 puts the politician in the mental role of executioner, which I imagine they would rather avoid.
Cold reasoning indeed, A-G! I agree that proponents of a "culture of life" need to be a lot more "cold" in our reasoning in order to prevail in this critical public debate. The death-proponents just laugh at our emotional outbursts, and mock our despair...and then get back to business as usual fomenting the next outrage. Against this backdrop, we cannot allow manipulable judges to have the final say about what the rules for terminating innocent life are to be. Such matters must be placed in the hands of the political branches, and decided there with a specificity that is not easily susceptible to judicial "interpretation."
