A Question of Life, Choice, and Consequence
Lately I find myself deeply confused and disturbed by the contradictions in our society, especially when it comes to how we define and value “life.” We’re told that life is so precious that a woman’s right to choose must be stripped away to protect the unborn. Abortion is treated as a moral crime – some would even call it a cardinal sin – because every fetus represents life and potential. And yet, at the very same time, we elect leaders who slash funding for the very programs that support life after birth – Medicare, Medicaid, mental health services, school lunches and breakfast programs for children in need. How can we claim to value life while simultaneously gutting the systems that help children and families survive once that “precious life” arrives? How can the same hands that claim to protect the unborn so quickly vote to send weapons into war zones – into conflicts where civilians, including children, are being slaughtered? We justify these actions by calling them support for allies or defense of freedom, but too often it feels like blind allegiance to ideology. We ignore the nuance, the history and the lives caught in between. .... read full article |
