"It's pragmatism, John."

No, it's convenience.

" It's a compromise...as are most legal situations."

A compromise from what? How is it a compromise? That reminds me of that line from the newest Patrick Warburton sitcom. Warburton's character is talking to David Spade's character and says:

"Marriage is all about compromise. For instance, my wife wanted a cat and I did not want a cat. So we compromised. We got a cat"

Where is the compromise? To paraphrase Wharburton:

"It's all about compromise. For instance, the pro-choice people want the right to kill fetuses, even if they might be babies. I don't think they should kill fetuses because they might be babies (and, in fact, science is proving me right). So we compromised. They get to kill fetuses."
