- Oh, this is beautiful. Let's analyze that sentence for subject and
- verb. All we need do is remove the preposition...
-
- " . . . for those who conceal sexual wantonness . . . wholly lose
- their humanity along with the fetus."
-
- The man is clearly opposed to abortion not because he gives a tinker's
- damn about a fetus, but because he sees it as a tool to "conceal
- sexual wantonness". It's sex he's opposed to, not abortion. Had you
- read this sentence more carefully, you surely wouldn't have quoted
- it. This is the anti-sex viewpoint that pro-life advocates so resent
- being accused of.
