So I just heard about this–I mean, really, like just now, with less than 20 minutes to go in the first day! And I think it’s a great idea, since I’ve been terrible about blogging lately–as much as I want to–and clearly I need some outside motivation.
But with only eleven minutes left to go right now, I will just post my favorite Halloween picture and plan to do better tomorrow. 🙂
I love the picture below because it was serendipitous. After all, you can’t pose a cat, right?

"Our pleas on behalf of the unborn have fallen on deaf ears. While we are still very much their advocates, our tactics need to change. We need to build bridges with women and prochoice advocates who fear a world without abortion. We need to change the discussion. We need to start by asking a new question.![]()

The real question we need to be asking is the question that is missing from the abortion debate: is abortion good for women?"
The One Question Missing from the Abortion Debate
www.faithandbioethics.com
The debate over the value of fetal human life is gridlocked. Here's what we need to be asking instead.
"[I]t’s also possible that the default to abortion as the solution to an unplanned pregnancy actually discourages other adaptations that would make American life friendlier to women. As Erika Bachiochi wrote recently in National Review, if our society assumes that “abortion is what enables women to participate in the workplace,” then corporations may prefer the abortion default to more substantial accommodations like flexible work schedules and better pay for part-time jobs — relying on the logic of abortion rights, in other words, as a reason not to adapt to the realities of childbearing and motherhood."

Making the argument that lies behind the constitutional debate.
“This moment should serve as a turning point in our dialogue about the place an unborn child holds in our nation, about our responsibility to listen to women and support them through pregnancies and after the birth of their children, and about the need to refocus our national priorities to support families, particularly those in need.”![]()

Even though Roe is gone, we still have an obligation to support the dignity of the unborn and their families, especially women and girls who need help raising their children. We all share in this responsibility. I join in David French’s call: “The answer from pro-life America should be clear and resounding—the commitment to life carries with it a commitment to love, to care for the most vulnerable members of society, both mother and child.”
