Thank you for the elegant and convincing statement of principles, Johannes. You're certainly doing your part to raise the quality of debate here. You want to run for office on that platform, be my guest.

Johannes, Congrats first of all for publishing under your own name. I appreciate that. Second, on RU-486, you seem not to have answered the question. The problem is this. By the time you have used RU-486 there is a chance that you have a embryo consisting of dozens of cells that will be killed by the drug. Now the right (the right on this issue, not everyone on the right in general) seems to basically feel that a fetus is a human no matter how undeveloped it is, even down to a few cells. I am surprised that you would not take the point of view that use of RU-486 is abortion and thus murder. And wouldn't you also consider women who drink and smoke and thus inadvertently terminate hundreds of thousands of such embryos a year to be murderers. And men who allow second hand smoke to reach their children and potentially pregnant wives as well. Why or why not? Explain, please. Yours, Chaz
