In which Janet Smith takes on Thomas Aquinas and Augustine
And wins, in my opinion. Great arguments. Read it all at First Things. Here's the opening:
The exposé of Planned Parenthood engineered by Live Action has not only disclosed some illegal and immoral operations of Planned Parenthood, it has also revealed sharp divergences in the pro-life movement and Catholic community about what counts as lying. Pro-lifers are, of course, thrilled that more of the evildoing of Planned Parenthood has been brought before the public, leading many legislators to vote to cease government funding of the organization. But some ask: By utilizing actors posing as pimps and prostitutes and falsely claiming to employ fourteen- and fifteen-year-old sex workers who need abortions and gynecological services, did Live Action use an evil means to a good end?

I disagree with Janet. Lying to Nazis about the whereabouts of Jews would be akin to self-defense. One protects when put on the spot.
Live Action did not act in this manner. They set out to deceive, a totally different action than one of defending the innocent.
