- Funny, when I posted an article where I talked on forced abortion in China, the
- pro-choicers pretty much ignored that part of my post and claimed that the
- dystopia of _A Handmaid's Tale_ was much more likely to come about here.
-
- Now that Clinton's been elected, maybe I should re-post, and see whether
- they still believe that farfetched claim.

- What, the fact that you have yet to hear of...? These things are not
- trumpeted in public, for obvious reasons. An exception: when Jacqueline
- Kennedy, then first lady, miscarried, they named the "product of
- conception" Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, and gave it Christian burial, and
- this was carried on the national news.
-
- Nowadays the media is overwhelmingly pro-choice, so stuff like this is
- no longer newsworthy.
