What are these "clearly-defined truths" that are being "obfuscated"? What is the "semantic wordplay" at play when there are words here that are associated with different concept? "Cognitive dissonance" usually relates to believing inconsistent things so what are the potential inconsistencies? And what are the arguments here that come out "unscathed" (and against what objections)?<br /><br />In sum, these assertions here really would need to be explained and defended. Please do that, since that's important.

It's cognitive dissonance in its most charitable interpretation. The prolife arguments it raises come out unscathed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
