Comments on: Emory University’s Greater Good Presents Us With Too Many Problems http://www.peachpundit.com/2007/10/04/emory-universitys-greater-good-presents-us-with-too-many-problems/ Fresh Political Pickins From The Peach State Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:52:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: BubbaRich http://www.peachpundit.com/2007/10/04/emory-universitys-greater-good-presents-us-with-too-many-problems/comment-page-1/#comment-90808 BubbaRich Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:11:50 +0000 http://www.peachpundit.com/2007/10/04/emory-universitys-greater-good-presents-us-with-too-many-problems/#comment-90808 Erick, That entire letter is political grandstanding on the issue of abortion. There is no other point there. Every question is trying to weasel into various issues that will earn him brownie points with the "outlaw abortion" zygote-worshipping crowd. This even includes his little distractor about the death of the poor woman during an abortion procedure. I assume he is equally outraged about the hundreds of women who die during childbirth every year. I do have to wonder what you elided with the ellipses, both in the second paragraph ("one woman...was killed") and at the end of his point #6. I'm left with the uncomfortable choice that either you are not really reporting the "full text" as you claim above the letter, or that Mr. Everson is poor enough with the English language to include ellipses in his own original words. Erick,

I've been involved in settlements where the settling party basically said they'd give more money quicker if both sides would agree to seal up everything because they didn't want the black eye.

If the case was mutually sealed as part of the settlement, wouldn't it be opening a can of worms to use government intervention to force open a seal? Playing devil’s advocate for a moment.
