When someone expresses shock at what appears in a girlie mag,
it's almost kind of cute. As it happens, Vogue
ran a column on a woman's decision to get a partial-birth
abortion when her doctors told her that her child would never
survive birth. From what I know about the subject, such diagnoses
are rare. Pro-life advocates were tweaked all the same, considering
that the almost mother was portrayed in a stylish outfit, claiming
that, "the gruesome procedure of partial birth abortion has been
given a style makeover by the world's most influential fashion
magazine."
But I think I'll betray the same naivete when I run across the
in-depth response by the magazine: "The response from both sides
demonstrates that this is an important and sensitive subject that
matters to people."
Thank you, Vogue, for getting into the
thick of it and hashing it out. We knew we could rely on ya.
