THE LATEST development in the ongoing campaign to present Woman as victim is a digital clock in Times Square ticking off the deaths of women by childbirth (roughly 1,000 women a day worldwide.) The implication of the clock is that these maternal deaths are preventable. Risk-free childbirth is apparently a realistic goal. According to the Times, obesity is involved in half of the very small number of maternal deaths in New York City. You can safely bet there will never be a clock in Times Square counting the lives of children lost from abortion or inadequate care.
