In the many debates I’ve been reading and hearing about the criminalization of abortion with the overthrow of Roe v. Wade, there is a major deletion: men.
We Go On Fighting
We always have, and we always will…
Where Are the Men
We really can’t be expected by any sane human being to take ALL the responsibility for consequences that will burden and at times nearly destroy our lives.
Roe
I’m finding it difficult to celebrate my 85th birthday, the anniversary of the decision half a century ago that legalized abortion, forbidding the states to outlaw abortion in all cases and asserting this freedom as a constitutional right.
Choice
No one in her right mind is “pro-abortion.” I know from personal experience what a difficult decision this is.

As we head, again, into the season of attacks on reproductive rights… I wonder how many of them stem, unconsciously, from the familiar version of the Annunciation.

Women have always thronged to churches, finding solace in this image of holy suffering. Is it possible that someday we will throng to the images of the Queen?

Breeding
The variety is endless, but the end result is the same: enormous fledglings crowding the adult bird out of the messy nest.
