[Editorial Note: This post appeared on my other blog on 11/17/11. I'm just moving it over here to put all posts that are a good fit for this blog in one place.]
So I went public with the blog and then didn't post anything for a week and 1/2 - isn't that great? But hey, I'm not going to post just because I'm bored and waste readers' time. I'll post when I have something of significance to say, I hope. Also, I have been preoccupied with some other projects lately, such as preparing the nursery for winter which looks like it could arrive this weekend.
So here's something that's bugging me. I hope as much as anyone that Sky Metalwala is found alive and in good health, as unlikely as that may seem right now. I don't quite see why there shouldn't be some provision within the investigation procedure why both parents shouldn't be subject to repeated interviews and cross-examination, especially when they seem uncooperative. But that's not exactly my business. What's bugging me is how much everyone cares about this kid while at the same time hundreds of kids are killed every day through the practice of abortion, and that doesn't bother anyone at all. What's the difference with Sky other than he's a little older and relatively more independent (if you can call a 2 year old independent)?
I realize I'm pretty much "preaching to the choir" here. It just seems like such a blatant and preposterous inconsistency in the way our society thinks. If he's two years old we all want to find him and hope its ok, and feel vengeful toward the mother for her neglect. If he's unborn well then it's fine to kill him. That doesn't work for me.
