This past Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision on the
case of Roe vs. Wade, legalizing abortion in the United States. We’ve spent countless hours since then
ripping ourselves apart at the straw man argument of all or none: should there
be free, legal, and available abortions at all times, or should we outlaw them
in the name of the sanctity of life?
These two distinctly opposite arguments have produced countless
spider-webbing discussions that have produced their own discussions as well:
When does life begin? Does an embryo, and the stem cells contained therein
count as a person? Do all babies, in fact, wanna get borned? Here’s what we
aren’t doing: working to eliminate the need for abortions.
