Thanks for the ping. I've been following the story on blogs all day.
One offbeat reaction was by a commenter (at Michel Malkin's blog) who wrote:
This is not the voice of someone who has gone through childbirth! Even some of her details of Dr.'s visits don't sound quite right. Sounds like another NYT fiction meant to stir up political fires. Misdirection, anyone? --Posted by: Holley at July 18, 2004 04:43 PM
For my part, as you might imagine, I would expect the Amy Richards of the world would not be merely engaging in misdirection. Anti-human elitist's would have no qualms about staging a pretense that they are participating in reducing their own posterity in the hopes that the fools they mislead will actually follow their example.
If I'm right, maybe this is the natural selection aspect of such behavior coming out? For I doubt I'd be the only observer to suggest that the NYTimes would be aping the behavior of that MTV show (?) that suggested stupid ideas in the hopes some jackass would actually perform the stunts on camera. (Anybody know the actual name that show?)
Well, if Holley is right -- and even if she's not -- add the NYTimes as now most certainly the latest venue for outrageously misleading our young.
