View original postFirst I never implied that the NYT editorial completely agreed with Cannoli's abortion views. Merely that it was another interesting read from a clearly liberal source that deviated from liberal orthodoxy.
Fair enough.
View original postSecond, I admire Cannoli's views because they are completely in harmony with his old school devout Catholicism. For someone who claims to accept Catholic doctrine that life begins at conception, then Cannoli's views are the only ones that are consistent. Abortion is either murder or it isn't. There is no sliding scale.
Yeah, I really can't see what's so admirable, or so Catholic, about taking a position as radically absolute as that one (to the extent that it accurately captures Cannoli's views - I'm going by your description rather than by what he said himself, here). My view of Catholicism as compared to many of the Protestant denominations is certainly that it tends more to nuanced and subtle positions that take into account human factors and not just cold 'logic'.
Here's something that has little or no chance of ever happening

Other than some phrasing issues, sounds like we agree pretty much across the board actually. *NM*

Personally I actually see the US as a rather decentralized country already.

I dislike the idea less than I thought, but the implicit claim that cities are more segregated? No.
