One of my schoolmates is pregnant, and today, I took note of her passing around ultrasound pictures of her baby among some other women, and all of them oohing and aahhing over these pictures.
Call this baby by whatever hateful, dehumanizing term you will—“zef”, “clump of cells”, “parasite”, “tumor”, or whatever.
Watching these women cooing over these pictures of their schoolmate's baby, it was clear that they all knew what this really was—who this really was—to whom they were responding.
It is difficult for me to imagine the level of evil and depravity that it takes to deny the humanity of so precious and innocent a human being; and to argue for a right to summarily kill her.
