The ethics of idiots...
So amid the flap and furor over Planned Parenthood clinics being caught helping to promote teenage prostitution of illegal aliens comes the pious hand wringing of articles like this: http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/stung_the_ethics_of_entrapment/
IMO somebody is in serious need of a life.
The argument seems to go along the lines of "two wrongs don't make a right". Noted. Using this logic, all sting operations conducted by any law enforcement agency are wrong. All espionage conducted in the course of a war is wrong. Nathan Hale was a bum, the participants of the Underground Railroad were inexcusable criminals, the list goes on and on. I'd guess even Biblical characters such as Rahab (who hid Jewish spies in her home in Jericho) would have earned condemnation using the thoughts of "pious" folk such as the author of the linked article.
Let's say for a moment that the participants of these operations involving Planned Parenthood are in the wrong. That it can't be excused even with the thought of human lives being saved due to the increased scrutiny of the facilities shown on film.
I'd guess the actors can go to Confession, do their Penance and keep on keeping on just like all the other habitual sinners who show up on Saturday afternoons.

Ms. Moynihan is correct--two wrongs don't make a right, and in this case it's her equivalating reparative therapy with covering up for sex trafficers.
A common move on the part of those who don't like that fact that there is right and wrong, and that they are absolutes.
lila Rose is one of my heroes.
IR, I feel the same about Lila Rose and think a lot of what drives articles like this is plain envy. Nothing else but that, end of story.
