As ash demonstrates below, there is a difference between conflation and analogy. Conflation takes two unrelated issues and attempts to compare them in a way that makes no sense. Analogy compares two seemingly disparate issues with the use of a legitimate link or common trait. Here is her analogy between God's will in a frightening tornado and the justification for prohibited abortion, through one adjective:
A correspondent calls a previous correspondent’s suggestion that divine intervention, not happenstance, spared a church from tornado damage “asinine.” It's a good word, applicable to other issues as well.
Here's one: another correspondent insists that "innocent babies [are] ripped from their mother's [sic] wombs...because their mothers couldn't control their hormones and don't want to face the consequences." To paraphrase: the mother's a tramp, never mind the father's role in this act of sheer hedonism, and as a result a tiny infant is pulled, kicking and screaming, from its incubator.
Can you count the number of inaccuracies in that wrathful tirade? I lose track. Suffice it to say it's an asinine assertion.
