Sorry, I did not look at every single Finkelstein-related post, not even 
those by Larry himself.  I just don't have that much time on my hands.

As Adrienne might put it, I have seen zip nada nothing by Larry on
impregnated rape victims, and believe me, I would have noticed it if I had,
since I personally know one such woman.

She went through the usual protocols, including "morning-after" pill,
and still got pregnant.

She was urged by Dick Harpootlian, who has since gone on to become 
Solicitor for the 5th circuit, covering the counties in which I work and
reside, (the post is a kind of super-DA position) to drop charges against
the rapist who impregnated her, because he was a fine young man with a 
clean record.  Fact is, he had already been charged with raping a ~60-year-
old woman as well as with attempting to rape a woman in full sight of
her children.

She is ardently pro-life.  Wasn't earlier--she had three abortions, one
as a result of the rape, and regrets every one of them.

And she is a very responsible person, who has it all together much better
than most of the faculty in my department.

...against pro-lifers.  Since Dick Harpootlian [see above] was a member of
Planned Parenthood until last year, I don't expect Steve Novak to call him
a fascist.

Whatever led you to think that?

Right. You wouldn't want to be caught calling abortionists fascists.  The
pro-abortionist-leaning faction of Garvin and her admirers would disown 
you.  Calling an abortionist a fascist is even worse than calling a
Planned Parenthood member who lies to a rape victim a fascist.

It was in a direct follow-up to your rantings about _The Handmaid's Tale_.
Try a little harder to find a copy, Stevie.
