The historical victory for a woman's right to choose is a legitimate cause for celebration, whether you like the Supreme Court's decision or not. While I did not personally attend the Roe v. Wade party, I highly doubt that celebrations included fetus-shaped balloons or M&Ms designed to look like the Plan B contraceptive. If one's delicate sensitivities are offended by such a celebration, maybe one's sensitivities should be a little less delicate.

As someone with an article surrounded by those pictures, I has skin in the game. And nice back-hand of a compliment. Thom, that was not a fluff question.

Of course the issue cover and images were not in good taste. The images were there distract readers from the actual discussion and debate by causing an emotional reaction because "THEY ARE SHAPED LIKE ME."

There was nothing light, airy or playful about the handling of the issue - from the conservative point of view, babies are essentially being disposed of like waste. From the liberal point of view, abortion as a legalized entity saves desperate women from the threat of harm through back-alley abortions, to discuss the cover. So the cover art, and supplementary medical photos were, in fact, demonstrative of the greater issue at hand. To the contrary, the use of the word "celebration" in the same sentence as "abortion" is quite opposite, I would think.
