Fluke Feminism: Baby or TV?

Aliza Worthington of Catonsville, Md., has written an “open letter to pro-lifers” that probably should have remained closed. Why does she believe abortion should remain legal? Here is a list of things she believes pro-lifers are not taking into consideration:

My wishes to nourish myself, now that I finally have some time and something creative and productive to do with it?

My wishes to have two free hands and a clear mind as I prepare my daughter for college, my first son for high school and my youngest son for his first season of swim team?

My wishes that my days of volunteering in pre-school be over?

My wishes that one day soon I will be watching what I want on TV?

Can you look me in the eyes and tell me my wishes for all these things, and how hard I’ve worked for them, are less important than the potential clump of cells in my uterus?

Wow, powerful stuff. Who, indeed, could look into the eyes of Aliza Worthington and tell her that an unborn child’s right to life is more important than her desire to nourish herself by watching The View. Fluke Feminism has another powerful she-warrior. Maybe the President will telephone her to congratulate her on her courage.

Then again, if the eyes are the windows to the soul, I’m not entirely sure what, if anything, one would see by looking into Aliza Worthington’s.
