But that is was the column is about and it is the reality whether you care to pretend otherwise or not.

Yeah, but it has no weight as an argument. It's pure sophistry. It's meritless. It's not even clever.

Facts, by definition, have merit and aren't required to be clever.

Let’s see: sophistry.

1. A baby is murdered in the womb.

2. Therefore, that baby will never be a teenager, young adult, or a husband or wife, and will never have children of his own.

3. Over 50 million babies have been murdered in the womb in America.

4. Therefore, about 50 million people who would have been born in America during the past 35 years were never born.

What’s sophistical about any of those statements? Please explain what’s sophistical about #1, #2, #3, and #4.
