It popped up all over today in discussions about rape exceptions. Finding this thread really honed it for me. It's so spot on.

I think a lot of people need to read this.

Make them stop and think. You should never take anything at face value. I've taught my son, and now my granddaughter about critical thinking. About ramifications. Be your own devil's advocate. To THINK!

Yup, a lot of people, especially those on the right, need to read the OP.
