A rampant, stampeding elephant outweighs an angry ferret. But what if all the rage and destruction of a maddened pachyderm could be squeezed down into that ferret? Could creep among us unseen, unnoticed? Perhaps even gull us into adopting it as a pet? Then as we grew fond of it, it slowly grew in size. It imperceptibly gained power. Until at last the monster we’d...

But some now, like Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, promote it to curtail global warming.How would abortion do that?The argument is that...
