Ryan T. Anderson and Sherif Girgis have just published a blistering refutation of Doug Kmiec’s most recent attempt at justifying his support for Barack Obama. The piece represents perhaps the most concise and complete case against Kmiec’s position articulated so far. Kmiec’s latest essay, they argue,
is a textbook study in shoddy reasoning. He has placed red herrings, baseless factual claims, and glaring non sequiturs in the service of a conclusion whose logic would be laughable if it did not threaten countless innocent lives: that the most pro-abortion politician in American history would be a blessing for the unborn. Barack Obama offers the unborn no hope to believe in but much change to deplore. Doug Kmiec offers Barack Obama cover for his assaults on the sanctity of human life.
