I'm Boycotting This Story.

The one about "abortion as art" -- probably a hoax anyway.  I'm not linking, I'm not mentioning the person's name.  There is only one way to abort this pathetic publicity stunt and not reward its attention-whore perpetrator, and that is to practice the media-age equivalent of shunning:  ignore her.  Of course, it's already too late.  One way we need to be much more vigilant is not to let our attention be raped like this.

Attention rape.  A concept we need.  A crime we must learn to protect ourselves against, lest trash use us to propagate itself like a sexually transmitted disease.

Funny, but i think it could actually be true. It's possible to do exactly what claims was done. Legally. If it isn't a hoax- then... what? Do as Althouse said &jump thru the hoop held up for us?

If it is true- it's beyond my comprehension.

On a tangent, B.Boxer-D, CA voted to strike something or other about what the Pope had to say? About the respect of human life. It was late last night when i read it-- Townhall, maybe- the article was.

It was asked: So, does this mean she now thinks a fetus is a human being?

Off Althouse:

"The only interesting question is who was dopey enough to think this wasn't a hoax. WaPo would like us to think it was only those deranged internetters who get everything wrong. But it seems to me that a lot of the Yalies were slow on the uptake."

In my defense... i never said i believed it TO be true- just that i thought it very possible something like this Could be true. Who knows, maybe now it will become true- just for spite.

I admit that I actually did believe it. Children will do almost anything to be noticed.
