Uncensored John Simon


religion, which has nothing whatsoever to do with logic, comes in with its meddling where it does not belong. Genuine life predicates the cognizance of mortality. Even an infant knows the difference between being suckled and being throttled; an embryo does not. To a world burdened with overpopulation (Malthus is revolving in his grave), abortion provides at least some amelioration. The alternative mode, war or revolution or suicide bombing, is clearly less desirable.
