More About Abortion-Affecting Legislation and Intervening Causation

By Robert Hockett

Hello again, All,

In case it's of interest, the post over at MOJ that I referenced yesterday has elicited some response, which responses in turn have provoked a bit more thinking on my part about the role that intervening cause arguments have in discussion of voucher programs and health insurance reform.  If you're at all interested, please visit here -- http://mirrorofjustice.blogs.com/mirrorofjustice/2010/03/addendum-another-thought-on-rick-and-intervening-decisions.html -- and the few posts below it where the discussion unfolds.  As ever, your reactions would be very very welcome!

All best,

Bob

Bob,

I'm following this discussion with much interest but I'm afraid I have to defer to you and others here as I've not thought through such matters with anything remotely close to the thoroughness exhibited in your posts. But I thought to let you know how much I'm learning from them. Thanks!

Thanks a million, Patrick!

As ever, you're much more gracious than I deserve. But I'm very very glad you're reading these things and not finding them too wrongheaded.

All best and more soon,
Bob
