On Pro-Life Coexistence

01/25/2019

Remember that time a freshman, Catholic legislator from NY quoted the Bible to show God told us to respect our environment?

Turns out, regardless of source, a person's values are as convenient as that person makes them in his or her day to day reality.

What's most interesting is the faith based news community's "whataboutism," shifting the topic from common sense, scripture-based strategy - protect the planet, its resources are finite - to a question of moral integrity based on a presumed hypocrisy between AOCs Catholic upbringing and her stance on abortion.

Faith and science can coexist. But only one draws lines based on narrowly defined, immovable positions that apparently get you afterlife banned from Da Club. Are we sure we know that's God's plan? How presumptuous...

Life is cyclical. Of course climate is too, intuitively. And based on lots of science that at least asks the question "but what if..."

Lastly, show me a pro life community who also believes in a robust and well funded adoption system post birth, quality childhood education for all kids and protecting both kids and their mothers from society's abusive predators and archaic standards. That's what pro life means to me, though not quite as deeply explored as we could in conversation.
