>> rely on immediate emotional values....Thus, you get the left calling the right heartless/immoral/racist
> considered unspeakably cruel
You're not disagreeing on any pragmatic basis, just the emotional one. Like I said.

They could have said things like 'reproductive rights leads to X goods for the populace' or 'prohibition was a net positive in Y ways' or 'minimum wage laws are shown to improve GDP by Z amt on average' - but they didn't. They used an emotional argument. Like I said they would.
And 'wrong side of history' (bandwagon fallacy) and references to 'cruelty' (appeal to emotions) is really, really bad epistemology.
