Ellen Goodman is on Planet Zongo (as Mark Steyn likes to say). I have some sympathy for the woman's having had abortions many years ago. Communist Romania was a horrible place, and most people simply didn't have children at all.

However, to pretend there's some parallel between this woman's unfortunate decisions, and the "choices" of overindulged American women, is simply an ideological smokescreen. A more rational reading would be that the poor lady was driven around the bend by post-abortion guilt.

Exactly the thought that I had this morning in my car. I wonder if the woman feels free of those guilt feelings--at the expense of a child who will not grow up with her natural mother? I wonder when guilt-feelings for doing this to a child will set in?
