YouTube description
Robert George says we need to defend everyone's right to present reasons and arguments for even the most abhorrent and evil ideas, such as abortion and infanticide. He uses the example of his colleague Peter Singer to illustrate the importance of devotion to truth. "I would be the first one in line to oppose the eviction of Peter Singer from Princeton University.... our devotion to truth should be so powerful that we are willing to [listen to what he has to say]."
