If people genuinely wish to live in a society that is truly pro-life, then promoting laws and programs that provide adequate support systems for those who are alive (quality public education for all, affordable and accessible health care, parental leave, care-giver support, support for parents of children with special needs, etc.) has to be more effective and humane than preventing safe abortions when necessary for complex and valid personal reasons. Anti-abortion is pro-birth, not pro-life. But Rev. Anne Russ, at her blog Doubting Believer, explains it so much better. You can read it at this link: I’m pro-choice because I’m pro-life.

Yes indeed!
best thing I read on the topic so far
Thanks, Selma, and thanks to the main author, Anne Russ.
Reblogged this on Musings and Wonderings.
Bravo. Outstanding post!
I’m glad you feel that way, Lesley. If there were a societal commitment to fostering love, understanding, and support for the lives (people) we have – at every age, what a wonderful world it would be.
