Nights of Rage are how some pro-abortion activists planned for the Supreme Court’s decision in the Mississippi abortion case. It was nowhere as bad as I feared, thanks be to God. But there have been attacks on pregnancy centers and churches, and tensions are high. In a country of division, can we at least stand up against more violence — even beyond the violence of abortion?
For a half century, the pro-life movement has been making the case for the humanity of the unborn child. We’ve prayed. We’ve peacefully protested. Most years it didn’t really make the news unless you watch EWTN (Catholic TV) or read conservative or Christian sources, but we’ve marched on Washington in frigid January, begging the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. It hasn’t been fun, but every year we see more and more young people, filled with hopeful joy that this wrong will be righted. Anyone who has ever seen a sonogram knows that there is a developing child in the womb. Joe Biden has now repeatedly recently slipped up and said that a woman should have a right to abort her child (rather than merely using euphemisms about supposed choice — when, in fact, all too often women and girls are pressured into their abortions). It was unintentional on his part, I assume, given the Left’s decades-long insistence on euphemisms when it comes to abortion. But let’s talk about the child, thank you. Let’s talk about abortion. Let’s talk about what it actually is. Not health care. Not freedom. Death.
