Hopefully I'm misreading this, because otherwise, this line of thinking is starting to freak me out. Do you really mean that bombing clinics is the lesser of two evils?

I would tend to brush it off as a joke. But I agree that between Aqualung's ambiguous post and this, it kinda gives credence to Bright-ness' assertion.

I find bombing abortion clinics heinous. I hope that helps...

OK. Well at least I can find that consistent with a "pro-life" position.

If one were to take your response seriously, by stating that it is almost as bad as abortion, you are saying that it is not quite as bad as abortion. This would seem to suggest that you think it's the lesser of two evils. Some would see that as a sign of support or encouragement. At the very least, it is not discouragement.

This is where your reasoning goes off track... Saying that something is almost as bad as abortion is saying that it is very bad indeed.

I don't see anything wrong with her reasoning at all. You said it was almost as bad. That means you think abortion is worse than bombing an abortion clinic. Is this true or not?
