Last week, I read in The Crimson that the pinkers are planning to mount a counter-campaign. In the interest of my own personal sanity and the conservation of thumbtacks, I decided start my own group, ENOUGH. The philosophy is simple.

Concern for the fetus is often exaggerated, they say. "There is a tendency to think of women as walking wombs," says the University of Wisconsin's Karlin. Most female cardiac patients, she notes, are not planning to get pregnant...
