Washington, D.C. — Our abortion debates in America are cruel. They don’t make sense. And we are all way too used to abortion.
This year marks the 50th anniversary since Roe v. Wade. Obviously, this year people gathered in Washington, D.C., for the March for Life with a new reality of life after the Supreme Court threw out Roe — which, if you take an honest look at it, was bad law, bad history, bad science, and bad to women, the unborn, and to family life in America. It was an injustice, and it lied to people. It put in place cultural expectations that not only suggested but all too often insisted that abortion was a preference in all kinds of situations: for a woman in school, for one early in her career, for anyone poor and maybe especially for anyone black. Those last categories are how Planned Parenthood started in the first place. It was about eugenics — the effort to decrease the population of people seen as undesirable. Sometimes it’s still about that today.
