SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS USED TO BE UTERINE CONTENTS:
Consumer Reports advocates abortion (Ron Strom, January 10, 2005, WorldNetDaily.com)
Consumer Reports, the respected magazine that has advised Americans on everything from new car purchases to which electric can opener to buy, has published a list of birth-control options that includes abortion, complete with a section describing how the procedure gets rid of a pregnant mother's "uterine contents."
Nothing quite like accidental moral clarity. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 11, 2005 4:11 PM
Apparently someone suctioned out CR's skull contents before they sat down to write.
Posted by: Axel Kassel at January 11, 2005 5:01 PMIt's no surprise, really. CU has been a staunch advocate of socialized medicine for a long, long time. Can advocacy of Dutch-style euthanasia (perhaps in the next review of retirement homes) be far behind?
Posted by: TimF at January 11, 2005 5:02 PMI want a Consumer Reports article rating various suicide methods. Is it better to use a gun, pills, rope, jump or knife? What sort of categories should they include? Success rate, obviously. But what about "splatter factor?" Maybe a sidebar on how to properly write that final note, too.
(I'n only doing this to stake my claim when some satire site does it.)
