Whole lotta “having it both ways” in that family, imho.

On pretty much everything, not just ‘choice,’ ‘feminism,’ ‘motherhood,’ or ‘all-Americanism.’

Totally fungible ethical code where opportunism reigns.

They can fade into obscurity now.

Jane Smiley said pregnancy is the most public of conditions.

Thanks, Cynthia – I appreciate the commiseration. And I completely agree with you about the curiosity re: what it’s like when they’re alone. I’ll leave my suppositions for offline debate.

Thanks – hope you’re well and had a good Purim.

I know, I know. I’m totally with you on the comment/no comment stuff. Re “choice” I think it’s an existential undertaking – no common ground – not even enough for a dialogue, I suspect.
I just keep thinking how sad it is for this young mother. I wonder what the family is like when they’re alone, if they are compassionate toward her etc. At least they didn’t make them get married; he sounds like the kind of trouble guys don’t grow out of.
Think how many Bristols there are, too. Sigh.
