Abstract
Carter's March rebuttal (PSCF 57 [2005]: 77) of my December letter (PSCF 56 [2004]: 309) illustrates the problem I attempted to address. I am not in the least surprised that the group he references found Mannoia's paper excellent: she punched the right evangelical buttons. It is universally acknowledged that matters where one is deeply involved are the most difficult to evaluate rationally. Pro-life is the current evangelical shibboleth, not to be challenged.
