Consider two examples of legal responsibility that the American right has argued for in recent years.

Torture of prisoners: “It might be necessary, for special circumstances, and having laws that prevent it would discourage brave souls from risking legal consequences.”

Abortion: “Punish doctors and pregnant women with the full force of law, and make interstate travel illegal. If there’s a medical need for an abortion, it’s hardly our fault doctors won’t risk it.”
