Doug Kmiec and Robby George Set to Debate at National Press Club

C-SPAN 2 carried the discussion, but does not appear to have it up yet. CUA has it on their website here: http://digitalmedia.cua.edu//calendar/event_dsp.cfm?event=4696.

I thoroughly enjoyed the event, admission was certainly hard to get. Doug had one good point about Evanglium Vitae and Robby had a lot of good points about the dignity of the person. Mary Ann did an excellent job selecting the questions which mostly asked Doug for points where the Obama administration tried to reduce the number of abortions. Robby noted that the administration sees abortion as a knee replacement, an undesirable surgery no one actively seeks yet carries no moral consequence.

Some one brought an infant that cried softly during Doug's presentation. Robby's was accompanied by clashes of thunder. Doug appeared tired and spoke in a monotone for most of his discussion. Robby was more vibrant to the point where, at the end, Doug accused him of using a rhetorical argument.

All-in-all it is worth the watch. Enjoy!
