Her pregnancy confirmed, she experienced joy or resignation; and she cursed the inconvenience or shrugged her shoulders.\u00a0 She sought advice from her friends about obstetricians; and she sought advice about clinics and prescription drugs.\u00a0 She has expectations of new life; and she has expectations of her old life. She is immersed in a whirlpool of change and growth, of ultrasound images and another heartbeat, of wonder and retching sickness, of anxiety about the future; and she has recovered the status and statis of the recent past.<\/p>\n
Her state is an impartial differential function.\u00a0 What will collapse this function, so that we may discover whether Ms Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s baby is alive or dead?\u00a0 Does Ms Schr\u00f6dinger choose?<\/p>\n
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
No, she cannot \u201cchoose life,\u201d for no choice is required to bring this new life to parturition.\u00a0 Ms Schr\u00f6dinger chose life before her baby was conceived.\u00a0 From that point on, the \u201cdefault course\u201d is life, and the new life drives on relentlessly to growth and birth and growth again.\u00a0 In this respect, there is only one action to decide upon, one thing to choose: death. So a strange \u201cchoice\u201d resolves this function.\u00a0 Ms Schr\u00f6dinger either walks the path she has already set herself upon, or tries to rewrite her own history by killing the witness.<\/p>\n
To kill or not to kill: what will it be this time, Ms Schr\u00f6dinger?\u00a0 She is life-bearer and she is Kali.\u00a0 She is the god-mother.\u00a0 She cannot create life, but she can destroy it.<\/p>\n
Unbeknownst to them, the children in the womb must pass quietly by the sleeping Kali, lest she wake and consume them.<\/p>\n
In this way, every woman in this society has been given a licence to kill; but only her own children.\u00a0 The law is not written in that way, but that is its effect, and was its intention.\u00a0 The letter of the law is flouted systematically, and so the principle of law itself has been subjected to the will of the god-mother.\u00a0 Ethics has been democratised, and the law which once reflected millenial ethical traditions of its culture in respect of the murder of the unborn, has come under the sovereignty of Kali.<\/p>\n
Ave Kali! Hail Ms Schr\u00f6dinger!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
For Christmastide, and for the feast of the Holy Innocents, 28th of December.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ms Schr\u00f6dinger is pregnant; and Ms Schr\u00f6dinger is not.
