Every once in awhile, while surfing blogs, I come across something so sick, so shameful, so disgusting, it makes me want to wretch. This is one of those times:
If You Killed Your Baby and You're Proud, Clap Your Hands
Ms. Magazine is calling on readers who want the world to know they had an abortion and are pleased with themselves about it to sign an online petition.
According to Ms., it is time for "women of conscience" — by which they mean women who have done away with their inconvenient babies — to "stand up and speak truth to power."
What kind of women are these? There may be a few reasons that make a woman think she needs to kill her baby, but never would it be an "act of conscience." To want to brag about it is perverted. Now excuse me while I go throw up.
DISCLAIMER: The Squiggler is pro-choice and chooses for life except in the case of life of the mother and incest.

Oops spoke too soon, I think DJ has found one of the women:
By DJ Drummond
I was reading The Anchoress on Friday, and came across a part where she said she had been begged to “fisk this woman”, the woman in question being one Helen Kirwan-Taylor.
Ms. Kirwan-Taylor, or “Ms. ME-ME-ME” as I am inclined to think of her, wrote a column which basically amounts to suburban dreck – a mild complaint about how she finds her two sons too boring to merit her time and attention, if she can find a way to slough them off on someone else. Ms. ME-ME-ME goes so far as to claim that her column “argues provocatively that modern women must not be enslaved by their children.” Granted, there are some children who are so whiny and selfish that if their parents are not careful to lay down the law, they might indeed find themselves controlled by their children, but as the reader makes his way through the column, we find that Ms. ME-ME-ME is the one who finds selfishness the ideal way of life. Indeed, I could almost agree that Ms. ME-ME-ME should not be allowed contact with her sons, as her sort of personality seems the poisonous sort which could damage their future outlook and sense of responsibility. It was difficult to take the column seriously, but because such people exist, it needs a look from the broader perspective.
