Consumer Reports, according to an article from Culture and Cosmos, describes the child in the womb as “uterine content.”
A series of articles in the February Consumer Reports magazine rates condoms, hormonal birth control and many other forms of artificial contraception and also gives advice on abortion options where it refers to unborn humans as “uterine content.” The article gives short shrift to abstinence and betrays a misunderstanding of natural family planning, a surprise given Consumer Reports’ reputation of high credibility and thoroughness.
The group of articles, called CR’s Guide to Contraception, begins with an evaluation of 23 kinds of condoms.
I don’t even want to think about it. But it does show how much even the beautiful and mysterious thing we call procreation and child-bearing has become simply commodified, a consumer product. In this case the product is the preventation of the gift of a child. I can’t wait until CR’s issue on In Vitro Fertilization methods and clinics comes out. Or did I already miss it?
