Transferrable Argument?

(This is a riff on the 6th comment down @ this site.)

"It’s really not a black and white issue; it’s a very complicated one and should be treated ...with compassion and pastoral sensitivity." That's no doubt a subterfuge many of the RCC priests employed when hurrying former SS members thru the Vatican underground system into countries where the SS could become oxymoronic "U-boots." Or perhaps even antebellum Southern pastors would've considered this a felicitous rationale in the discussion against slavery. Now, if it seems outrageous to use that sort of PC gabble for the SS henchmen and slaveholders, why is it ostensibly defensible in reference to the slaughter of the unborn?
