The Right Kind of Dead Woman (Not Any Woman Will Do)

"I have something to say about the recent Supreme Court decision that upheld the ban on late-term abortions, whether or not the pregnancy endangers the woman’s life.

I’m a pragmatic contextual ethicist with a spiritual sensibility, and I cannot be silent. I cannot pretend that I don’t understand the next step in this game. If you stop for a moment to think about it, what will be required next is blindingly obvious.

A dead woman."

The right kind of dead woman, of course. There either has to be massive female dead in the thousands or one rich white young beautiful married Christian woman death.

All deaths are not created equal in the media's high court.
