She opened the door.

Are you removing her from the chain of causation?

Calling detractors to your political correctness “sick in the head” is no substitute for an actual argument in the Aristotelian sense.

"Are you removing her from the chain of causation?"

Go to the first link like Travis has. It is the root cause. The mother is a victim just like the 12 that died.

“Distinction without difference...and you want to talk about intellectual dishonesty?Do you even know what it means?”

Yes. I know there is a huge difference between a seasoned old paratrooper and a young mother.

I know it is intellectually and morally pathetic to blame a young mother because you expect her to act like a seasoned old paratrooper. A seasoned old paratrooper who says he will "sacrifice himself to save 12 others" doesn't have the right to demand that a young mother do the same.

I also know it is intellectually dishonest to set up fallacious hypothetical questions to beat others over the head with.

Problems need to be fixed at the root cause; trying to fix them anywhere else is a symptom treatment. Problems that receive symptom treatments will never be fixed.
