Imagination and Delusion Are Separate Concepts

Shorter Jonah Goldberg: If BSG’s writers were more imaginative, using state coercion to force women to carry pregnancies to term would be about…freedom! They should hire Jeff Goldstein to write some snappy one-liners for the characters after the comic high point, when a woman dies from an illegal abortion!

…as Rob notes in comments, the funniest part of the post is that he seems to think that the show is unrealistic if it doesn’t (like Marxism at its flakiest) accept Goldberg’s premise that technology elminates social conflict. Yes, if only we had the technology to prevent unwanted pregnancies, all these problems would vanish! Maybe in the future someone could develop one…
