NYT: The Unborn Paradox Opinion Piece ....could the NYT actually be getting it??

Opinion piece in the New York Times of all places....excellent read  by Russ Douthat  talking about the paradox of abortion, surrogacy, adoption.
 Here is a teaser....

"This is the paradox of America’s unborn. No life is so desperately sought after, so hungrily desired, so carefully nurtured. And yet no life is so legally unprotected, and so frequently destroyed."

Could it be that even the NYT is getting it??

Susie, do you not realize what Op-Ed is? It's for viewpoints that generally clash with those of the editors and general audience.

Don't take this article as an indication that the NY Times or the country in general is prolife.

Keep telling yourself that :)

Telling myself that? Do you mean to suggest that the NY Times published this Op Ed piece because it agrees with this prolife position. Hardly. The point of the OP Ed feature is to present an opposing viewpoint.

Oh! Or do you mean that most Americans actually are prolife? Well, newsflash Susie, a small majority may have called themselves prolife in recent Gallup polls, but 75% of the respondents said abortion should be allowed in all or some cases. Now that's not really how you yourself would define prolife, is it?
