Two curiously correlated events:
On Sunday, I attended church - not something I do often, but at times like
this I find the community provides a certain comfort. In his sermon, the
priest compared the terrorists to "abortion doctors who kill as many
children every single day."
Yesterday, the Animal Learning and Behavior listserv featured a post from
one of our eminent scholars, comparing the terrorists to those who bomb
abortion clinics.
I find it ironic that each side in the abortion debate has seen the face of
terrorism in the opposition, at the same time claiming with absolute
conviction that their own side is beyond criticism.
