That may be, but my interpretation is a little different as I stated on page 1.
To give you an example of how I see this... Imagine a Conservative saying she is getting an abortion because the Right hasn't been able to ban abortion. Conservatives would be outraged and I think that is the point. Liberals might think they've won a convert but the author still opposes abortion and is using it to echo "something must be done" which has become a rally cry in and of itself and to agitate.
Of course this is ridiculous example because Conservatives tend to be more principled and wouldn't get an abortion to make a political point. Liberals tend to look at ends and believe they justify means.
