The latest retort about FOCA lacks rebuttal to the main points I ex- pressed in the prior issue of Flyer News. Disappointingly, the columnist ill-advises that I “research the bill,” while he, himself, leaves out com- mentary of the research I previously presented in FN, along with his own research. Furthermore, without contributing research contrary to mine, the author proceeds to assume that we must “take every preventative ac- tion possible” to stop the Freedom of Choice Act; this seems unfounded. The author’s argument believes that “focusing on prevention is cru- cial;” however, prevention is only crucial if one understands what ex- actly they are trying to prevent and have deemed those efforts to be use- ful. A simple, cursory read of the Freedom of Choice Act is not sufficient to understand the act. There is a reason that there is an entire judicial profession devoted to interpreting legislation, which is precisely why I quoted a renowned professor of theology and law at the University of Notre Dame who has her J.D. from Yale University. As Kaveny has stated, FOCA appears to be “culture-war propaganda” that serves only to en- flame the already strained debate surrounding abortion. While passing FOCA undoubtedly will stall efforts to reduce the number of abortions, defeating it will not bring us closer to reducing them. Therefore, shall we not debate effective education models to reduce abortions or the merits of reducing poverty to decrease abortions? To clearly re-emphasize my point, in the words of Kaveny, FOCA is “bad law,” not only for the “radical interpretations” of it, but also for its questionable lawmaking. Assuming the extreme interpretations of the bill is a distortion of current legal framework, like the “Boerne stan- NICK Kastner senior dard,” that this bill must operate within, not to mention that the bill has not even been introduced to the Congress where it has previously been ourpolicy sent to and ended at the Judiciary Committee.
