How do you get from, “We do not know whether this is protectable human life,” to “Therefore, we will not protect it?” Wouldn’t the logic just as likely (some would say far more likely) be, “Since we do not know whether this is protectable human life, therefore we will protect it?” Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?

For a richer dish, splurge by adding an ounce of reconstituted dried
porcini mushrooms to the sauce.

soaking liquid. Thinly slice tomatoes.
Spray large nonstick skillet generously with vegetable oil spray. Add
mushrooms, onion, wine, garlic, reserved tomato soaking liquid and sliced
tomatoes. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer
until liquids are reduced by half and vegetables are tender, about 25
minutes.
Meanwhile, cook, pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just
tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Return pasta to same large pot.
Pour sauce from skillet over pasta. Add Parmesan cheese and pine nuts.
