We cannot live without mothers.

This should be an obvious point. But we have recent examples in our culture and politics that suggest denial. There was a photo not that long ago of two men — one of whom serves in the Biden administration — in a hospital bed with their newborns. There had to have been a woman involved at some point in the process. But she had been erased from the announcement of the births that the photo accompanied. More recently, the vice president of the United States visited an abortion clinic. As important as abortion has been to the Democratic Party, no president or vice president had previously made such a trip. At his own abortion-rights rally, our Catholic president made the sign of the cross, as if to call upon God’s blessings for more abortions.
