Milton Saier, liberal icon, wants to impose abortion on the poor

If someone has to base their entire premise on a lie, then it shows that even they know their position is groundless.

He accuses Professor Milton Saier of writing a letter that “suggests we impose birth control or abortions” on poor people. Since I read these letters every day, and I have read letters by Milton Saier, and could not remember any suggestion of mandating abortion or birth control, I went back and checked the letter Polito is referring to. The letter suggests PROVIDING birth control and abortion services - making them AVAILABLE to women - not requiring or mandating or forcibly “imposing” these options on anyone.

Similarly, I would agree with Prof. Saier that such services should be AVAILABLE, but I would never suggest that government impose decisions onto women that should be left to individual, personal choice.

Those who have to lie about their sources, or misrepresent those they purport to be responding to, admit that they are not able to respond to what the person actually said.
In other words, they have conceded the actual point.
