I have been asked to post this 1989 essay on the false leftist arguments used by the pro-life movement. In addition, I shall soon be posting part of a chapter from Book III of “Properties of Blood.”
I am almost blushing as I post this piece by Jerry Salyer.
A FB friend of mind sent me a link to an exchange he had with a movement conservative type on the subject of William Buckley. I was never close to WFB and, while I wrote for NR on several occasions, I was never an admirer of the shallowness and partisan bullying of much of what was written there, though I did respect many NR’s editors and writers, e.g., James Burnham, Ralph Toledano, Ernest Van den Haag, Thomas Molnar, Jeffrey Hart, Robert Nisbet, Russell Kirk, Mel Bradford, and Clyde Wilson, most of whom I published as NR began to be less receptive to their points of view.

Most talk of morality and law is now reduced to a question of rights. Leftists talk about rights to privacy, gender equality, and minority rights, and—more recently—of the right not to be offended by other people’s prejudices, while Libertarians talk about the right of labor and goods to pass unhindered over borders—to say nothing of rights to life and property and the right to say or publish or film anything you like, no matter whom it offends or what moral harm it causes.
“Epic,” published in 1960, is one of my favorite poems published in my lifetime.
