Ethics Villain and Fick Who I Fear Has Lots of Company: Christina Applegate

I can’t wrap my mind and ethics around this in any manner that doesn’t end up with Applegate being irredeemable. A fick, in Ethics Alarms-eese, is someone who know what he or she is doing or has done is wrong but shows no recognition that there is anything to regret or be ashamed of. I believe that the arguments in favor of abortion are rationalizations and deliberate boot-strapping constructs without integrity. But I don’t know how to define the act of someone who describes an abortion as murder and then goes ahead and has the abortion anyway as anything but…murder. There is intent, there is affirmative action to carry out that intent. Murder. What else could it be?

Applegate’s nauseating Hello-Goodbye (“I don’t know why you say hello, I say good-bye..” Good point, John!) is infuriating. “It’s not your time.” It’s not the child’s time because its mother decided to kill it: how dare the actress use that cowardly phrasing. How much can you love a human being you kill for your own convenience?

That reminds me of another song…

“You will live on…through another”? Nice one. Meaningless, compete bullshit, but nice. As long as it makes you feel better, Christina. I wonder if the Boston Strangler used that one?

Applegate is a woman who admits that she killed an unborn child she believed was a human being with a right to live, and regarded the act at the time as murder.

I don’t want to see, hear about or read about this hopelessly unethical person ever again, and I hope I never encounter anyone like her.

But I bet I already have….
