By Rick Pearcey
In a column titled "Atheism and Child Murder," Dinesh D'Souza comments on his recent debate with Princeton ethicist and atheist Peter Singer:
Some of Singer's critics call him a Nazi and compare his proposals to Hitler's schemes for eliminating the unwanted, the unfit and the disabled. But as I note in the debate, Singer is no Hitler. He doesn't want state-sponsored killings. Rather, he wants the decision to kill to be made by you and me. Instead of government-conducted genocide, Singer favors free-market homicide.
Singer as an individual may or may not approve "state-sponsored killings," but his worldview nevertheless demands obedience. This is what worldviews qua worldviews do as presumed guides to living in the real world.

Dinesh D'Souza is a very smart guy, but I have a small disagreement with him on this one. I'd be shocked to find out that liberal Pete Singer didn't want abortions and other infanticide paid for by the government, which is state sponsorship. Such morally sick fiscal policy is standard practice among liberals. Barak Obama, for example, wants state paid abortions.

I was wondering that myself.
