If you read anything today, please, please read Sarah Hoyt’s piece “Wanted.” It’s both critically important and powerfully compelling. It touches on the value of life ab initio, the inclination to “fellow-feeling” with which we respond to others – human and less than human – and the callousness that contemporary mores have heaped around them...and it does so without self-righteousness or descending to platitudes.
At least twice in the text, Sarah says that “this is not about abortion.” Perhaps it isn’t. Read it and decide for yourself.
It isn't _just_ about abortion. But it is. As it should be.
