<p>Yesterday at the pro-abortion rally outside of the Supreme Court, somewhere in the middle of a United States senator <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/chuck-schumer-supreme-court-justices-threat">threatening</a> two justices by name and a congresswoman <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/05/rashida-tlaib-sex-abortion-louisiana-supreme-court/">warning</a> pro-lifers that they if they keep it up they won&#8217;t be able to have sex with her, an actress named Busy Philipps took the stage to <a href="https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1235646791271378944">brag</a> that her abortion enabled her to have a career in Hollywood. She also screamed about her yeast infections and periods, but we&#8217;ll not dwell on that part of the speech.</p>
<p>Her exact words are instructive:</p>
<blockquote><p>There I was sitting in Los Angeles in my beautiful office of my own late night talk show. Soon I would be driving my hybrid car to my beautiful f**king home to kiss my two beautiful and healthy children, and my husband who had taken the year off to parent so I could focus on my career. And I have all of this, all of it, because, because, <em>because,</em> I was allowed bodily autonomy at 15&#8230; I will never stop talking about my abortion, or my periods&#8230;or my yeast infections!</p></blockquote>
<p>Philipps believes — or pretends to believe — that killing her baby was a sacrifice worth making because it resulted in luxury and success. This kind of reasoning is repulsive on its face and impossible to defend from a moral or ethical perspective. But I think it&#8217;s worth noting just how Philipps&#8217; literal deal with the Devil actually worked out for her.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x5w7UIeYvFg?start=92" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></p>
<p>That late night talk show? Canceled after one low rated season. That devoted husband who took the year off to support her? He did that because she threatened to <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/busy-philipps-reveals-divorce-talk-husband-t163919">divorce him</a> if he didn&#8217;t. That career? She did three big TV shows and was still, by her own admission, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/oct/21/busy-philipps-ive-been-on-three-big-tv-shows-but-was-broke-by-the-age-of-28-">broke</a> by the end of it. <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005311/#actress">Since then</a> she&#8217;s had bit roles on various mediocre TV shows, a skit on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;Drunk History,&#8221; some cartoon voice over work, and she was in one episode of a now defunct Lena Dunham series. I&#8217;m not trying to insult the woman. I just believe it is important to notice what people actually gain when they sacrifice their children on the altar of &#8220;success.&#8221; In every case the answer is the same: nothing that has any value in comparison to what they lost.</p>
<p>Of course, I would be saying this even if Busy Philipps had cinematic classics on her resume rather than &#8220;White Chicks&#8221; and &#8220;Don&#8217;t Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23.&#8221; But the fact that her payoff was so pathetically meager and embarrassing only makes the point clearer. She might have money and a nice house, but she obviously is not happy (happy people don&#8217;t say things like &#8220;I will never stop talking about my yeast infections&#8221;), and we can bet that she doesn&#8217;t have the kind of professional success she thought she was buying with the blood of her offspring.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m reminded of Thomas More&#8217;s ironic words in &#8220;A Man For All Seasons&#8221; after he finds out that his friend Richard Rich betrayed him for a bureaucratic post in Wales. &#8220;Why Richard,&#8221; More says, &#8220;it profit a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. But for Wales?&#8221; One might look to Busy Philipps and say something similar. It profit a woman nothing to give her soul and her child for the whole world. But for the D-List?</p>
