So I worked up a post in my head about the way the Bristol Palin story exposes the tension between the real feminist argument for reproductive rights, and the compromise argument, and I had my misgivings because I feared the story is getting overplayed. And Lord Saletan’s nonsense grossed me…

They’re afraid of coming across like neck-breathing perverts, like Lord Saletan does here. The thing is, there’s actually a point to be made about how our culture is very pious about sex and pregnancy, and the only way to maintain that piety is for the young women of the country…
McCain’s pick: pretty clever
