From a college freshman discussion. I asked my clergyman father about abortion. As I remember, his reply, “The more important right is the right to be loved”
And SCOTUS. Not interested in precedent or the public weal, effectively damning women, especially poor women, to fit their misaligned. mistaken, and misogynistic screed.
Since the Supreme Court’s leaked draft of their decision to overturn Roe Vs. Wade is pubic information, cartoonists and other political pundits have been busy.
The “pro-life” movement isn’t. Many of these rabid foaming-at-the-mouth conservatives support the death penalty and deny much of what is listed in the first meme. Pro-life means taking care of babies AFTER they’re born. In the words of a nun: “I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.”
