Michelle Malkin passes on a NY Sun report [$] that the editors at the New York Times Magazine didn’t know that Amy Richards, whose horrific tale of selectively aborting two of her triplets caused such a stir, was a prominent abortion activist.

So, what does Amy intend to tell the surviving child when he/she learns its siblings were deleted/recycled for convenience? I’ve never seen a female dog so insensitive to its offspring, so Amy doesn’t quite qualify for the “B” word. Is there a word or phrase for someone a little less?
