Sometimes waving a Bible is not the correct approach to solving the pro-life/pro-choice debate. It is time for a true public debate on the abortion issue. As a matter of fact, that debate should have occurred before the Warren court found a Constitutional right to privacy, including a right to abortion, and ended public debate. But without public debate and the opportunity to form a consensus, we are today a divided and often angry nation on the subject of legalized abortion. <br /><br />Was the treatment of the brain-dead Texas woman proper? No. But it is an extreme example. But by the same token, pro-choice has its Kermit Gosnell’s and George Tillers. It has small victims of botched abortions tossed in closets and left to die. Planned Parenthood, an organization that receives millions of taxpayer dollars to counsel for and offer abortions to women, even to minors in many cases without parental consent. <br /><br />Yes, a conversation is past due. And that conversation need not include shaming, violence, judgment, “simplistic theology,” or any other distasteful tactics. But if the argument concerns women’s reproductive health rights, it must include the ramifications of abortion on women’s health, public access to videos of late-term abortions, and for women seeking abortion, all the information available, including ultrasounds, in order to make an informed decision. <br /><br /><br />Scribblernoreply@blogger.com
