I Was Going To Post About This
I read an opinion piece this morning in the Washington Post that really got me thinking about a few things. The longish piece details the travails of a 42-year old woman in trying to obtain a "Plan B" emergency contraceptive. I was struck by the tone all the way through that simply, completely and utterly refused to take any responsibility for her own actions. It is literally a string of excuses and casting of blame upon others. And, of course, it's all about her.
Like I said, I was going to post, but Villainous Company already did a thorough fisking, so why try to tamper with perfection?
UPDATE: And a world-class smackdown from Jane Galt.
UPDATE: And Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse.
UPDATE: You know, I'm really glad I didn't write a lot about this one. So many have said much more, with more authority. Like all of the above. And Like Darleen.

This story made me furious. How self-centered can a person be? From my blog post on this:
” In fact, it was her own actions that left her inconveniently pregnant and ending up sitting in an abortion clinic, “crammed full of people of all races”, waiting to willingly engage in genocide. Throughout her sob story she takes no responsibility for what happened and blames every other person or entity that she can. THIS is your typical abortion–the abortion of inconvenience.”
I desire to vomit.
