Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Why did he have to qualify it at all?/reply (4)

I'm emphatically not defending everything else he said. In fact there's a serious leap of logic in there that makes no sense.

I'm merely saying that focusing on "honest" and assuming he's magically developed a new category of rape (a la the "forcible" wording from a while back) is putting words into his mouth. In fact it distracts heavily from the other problems in his argument. So the headline is "Ron Paul thinks there's 'dishonest' and 'honest' rape" when it should be "Ron Paul thinks there's no difference between 1 minute after and 1 minute before birth, so there's no difference between 9 months before and 9 months after, either". Because the latter is definitely what he's said and clarified and unpacked thoroughly, the former is a single throwaway word that probably doesn't mean much.
