Big News From Indiana | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Mourdock and McMahon are simply idiots and it is good that the public is seeing through them.  Of course, I don't fault him for pointing out the big whole in the pro-life argument - he actually performed a service to show how undeveloped it is.  Anyone who claims to be pro-life from either the Democratic or Republican side is honor-bound to say how that would work - both on how to enact it in a post-Roe world (since privacy is not going anywhere until you get personhood done and overturning federal supremacy is a non-starter), followed by an explanation of what the powers of the state would be in enforcing the rights of fetuses and embryos - again taking care to note and deal with the equal protection issues in a post-Roe landscape where those protected have to be legal people and not evidence in a proscribed medical procedure.  We ARE NOT going to the bad old days where doing an abortion was an equal crime to shooting your neighbor's dog (a misdemeanor payable by a fine and loss of medical license).
