From your point of view, [partial-birth abortion as infanticide] looks "absurd" -- comically unreasonable, deserving scorn, etc.
But the problem is that 65-80% of Americans disagree with you. You're faced with a dilemma: are most Americans deserving of ridicule, or is the question more reasonable than you might think?
I don't make excuses for what James said, because I committed no breach of ethics in reporting his opinion on partial-birth abortion. I'm happy to debate his ideas, though.
