Her paragraph being morally incoherent has nothing to do with what I believe. It was internally inconsistent.

You just wrote an impassioned appeal for abortion which may be completely consistent with your views. But my point was that her paragraph was inconsistent with her own stated beliefs. You and Ms. Lamont may be in agreement overall; however, your argument for abortion is completely different from Ms. Lamont's argument in the above paragraph. That paragraph was what I was commenting on, and that paragraph is internally inconsistent. There may be more context in Ms. Lamont's book that would clear it up, but as far as this quote goes, her moral view is incoherent. This has nothing to do with whether abortion is right or wrong.
