‘My cousin has twins. She got pregnant again. Her boyfriend is a gang member. She had an abortion. How can anyone say she should have had the baby?”

The question came after a talk I was giving at a Christian college, on life after Roe v. Wade. The student was opposed to abortion but struggling with the reality of the complications of life. Her question was more important than anything I’m sure I told them. Her question should be a challenge to anyone who has ever had a word to say about abortion in a political context.
