What it will take

May She Be the New Jesus (so to speak)

I have something to say about the recent Supreme Court decision that upheld the ban on late-term abortions, whether or not the pregnancy endangers the woman’s life.

I’m a pragmatic contextual ethicist with a spiritual sensibility, and I cannot be silent. I cannot pretend that I don’t understand the next step in this game. If you stop for a moment to think about it, what will be required next is blindingly obvious.

A dead woman.

The post goes on to explain, that much like runaway teens, it’ll matter who the dead woman is. Pretty, white, and probably a mom– it’ll take at least that to get people to understand that this affects everyone, even their own tribe. Abortion isn’t all welfare moms, you’re not just punishing sluts– this will affect everyone, even the most faithful and hopeful families.
