We may not like abortion. Less than half our population has a say other than opinion. For the other half, their lives may be affected by abortion.
I don't like abortion. But I am a man, and it will never be an issue for me. I am an old man, well beyond the years of fathering children. But I recognise young women of child bearing age must have the right to choose the biological goings on within their own bodies. It is NOT a decision for the nation, or the states. It is the woman's decision, involving her physician and the male if in the picture.
The shortness of fickle memory in the American experience is breathtaking. Some ask now if we're better off than four years ago, and listening to the narrative, one might think no.
Four years ago we were declining rapidly into the deadliest pandemic in US history. More than 1.3 million Americans would die, and 15 million permanently injured. We were already facing massive shortages of things like toilet paper, eggs and milk, and meat. Public assembly everywhere closed. Masking and safe distancing became common practice.
Nowadays those opposed, as if this was a political issue to oppose, pass around all manner of conspiracy theories about danger of the so called jabs, to overblown virulence of Covid19. They are wilfully unaware that SARS appeared a decade earlier and gave scientists the necesssary time tested jump start to develop a vaccine as quickly as was done. Without the jabs, countless million more Americans would be in cemeteries.
Many of this same community also oppose abortion, believe climate change is a hoax, that the election was stolen, that unchecked millions are streaming across the border into welcome, open arms, and that we're in the last days according to Revelation.
They turn to their religion because in its silence, at least IT isn't arguing and opposing them.
