A lot of readers are angry with me about this placenta stuff. A sample email:

Jonah,
In all the years I am reading NRO, including reading almost every single
one of your columns, this was the all-time most disgusting, nauseating post
ever. You should be ashamed of yourself. You’ve stooped to an all-time low.

Me: Sorry to offend. Such was not my intent. But in my defense, I did not start the conversation.
