I was having sangrias by the beach with a friend yesterday. Our views on abortion didn’t 100% align, but we could agree on two main things including:
– The Pro-Choice movement disregards the reality of abortion being a traumatic experience that haunts a woman for life.
– The Pro-Life movement disregards how terrifying an unexpected pregnancy is.
–
We live in an increasingly anti-Marian world that rails against the two things our Blessed Mother embodies:
Virginity & Motherhood
–
Women today are told that in order to be equal to men, they have to be men.
Aka, having access to abortions on demand, and having “consequence-free” sex. Feminist activists try to convince society that abortion is a quick and easy process, when it is anything but.
–
And on the other hand, we have children of conservative Christian parents who feel like their parents would murder them if they found out about their “pre-marital ventures”.
–
We have an environment where a girl’s first reaction isn’t:
“I messed up but I know my parents will have my back”
but most likely:
“My parents are gonna kill me, abortion will erase my mistake”
–
We live in a culture of death that we have yet to truly transform into a culture of life.
–
In the meantime, I personally see no prudence in flexing the news with my tongue sticking out saying “TAKE THAT PRO-CHOICERS 😝” when there’s still so much left to do.
–
I thank God for this move towards the recognition of the sanctity of human life, but this is but a tiny step forward in a world that has taken 10 steps backward.
