George Reisman and Dishonesty in the Abortion Debate
Seeing a human being where there is none and consequently murder where there is none, serves to destroy the lives of women, and of families, who cannot afford the burden of an unwanted extra child, which they are nonetheless forced to accept because the possibility of abortion is denied them.
Thus stated George Reisman, Pepperdine University Professor Emeritus of Economics.
If George Reisman had stated that the unborn child was not human, that would be an honest debate. But by stating that the unborn child is not human, he reveals himself to be not only the worst kind of propagandist - dishonest - but also ignorant of basic biology.
