"The Cost of Verbal Extremism"

Read Tim Rutten's excellent commentary "The cost of verbal extremism," which appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. (It made up for the editorial the day before.)

His final sentence says it all:

"In the American debate over abortion, the extravagance of the moral argument and the intemperance of its expression have had consequences--and we have the graves to prove it."
