"This blog is a journal of the opinions, musings, and observations of a small group of Catholic Terps and alumni. The opinions expressed herein should not be construed as the opinions of the Catholic Student Center, Father Bill Byrne, the Archdiocese of Washington, Cardinal McCarrick, the Vatican, the Pope, the Church, or God (this should be evident, but assuming that everyone possesses common sense involves the logical error of descending from the general to the specific). Nor are they necessarily the opinions of the University of Maryland (although in our opinion they should be). All teachings of the Catholic Church expressed on this blog are true and should be believed by everyone (obviously, so are the ones we don't get around to mentioning). A link to a site does not constitute an unqualified endorsement of everything the author has written, or even everything on the site - it only means that one of us saw something interesting and thought it was worth mentioning. If you disagree with us on something, or agree with us, or have something else interesting to say that is germane to the topic, you are encouraged to use the comment box below the post to say what's on your mind. We trust that all of our readers will be polite and courteous, however, we reserve the right to delete abusive or uncivil comments as we see fit. Email us if you like, we might even respond. This weblog follows the "Welborn Protocol" - all correspondence sent to our blog emails is blogable unless you request otherwise. Please pray for us and all the Catholic Terps. We place this blog and its authors under the patronage of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, St. Thomas Aquinas patron saint of students, St. Albertus Magnus, and St. Peter."

Thought experiment

Portion of a conversation:

Me: Robbing a bank is reprehensible and no one should do it.
Other person: Yes, I agree.
Me: So then why don't you think we should have laws against it?
Other person: Because then only rich people would be able to get away with robbing a bank and that wouldn't be fair.

Does that make any sense?  To get the original version of the conversation, replace "robbing a bank" with "having an abortion."  Does it make any more sense?  Why or why not?
