Choice: Women’s Bodies

What are the limits to the "choice" logic of Roe v Wade?
My Body My Choice anti-Dobbs protest placard

On this day, millions without natural affection (and millions of others) celebrate: enough Supreme Court “justices” figured out a woman can do what she wants with her body.

As a result of Roe v Wade, a girl or a woman in the United States may legally…

  • Sell one of her kidneys for research, transplant, or knick-knack.
  • Accept pay in exchange for welcoming a man into her body.
  • Destroy an embryo (or kill a fetus or slice up a baby) within her.

It’s her body, after all. Read it all

Roe v Wade -- genocide, civil war, choice, murder? All? None?

Abortion and Mental Health Problems

Dear (desperate?) Mother-in-Waiting,

Please. Don’t do this to yourself:

Study finds abortion raises risk of mental health problems by 81%

Researchers behind a new study on abortion have discovered that women who have abortions experience an astonishing 81% increase in the risk of mental health problems.

Published in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry, the ground breaking paper also found that almost 10% of all mental health problems are shown to be directly linked to abortion.

The analysis, conducted by Priscilla K. Coleman from Bowling Green State University, Ohio, USA, is the largest study of its kind and is based on 22 published studies, with a combined number of participants totalling over 850,000.

The results also revealed that the increased risk for anxiety disorders was 34%; for depression it was 37%; for alcohol abuse it was 110%, for marijuana use it was 220%, and for suicide behaviours it was 155%.

The fetus within you is different than an organ or a mere growth. (Removing the cyst on my jaw wouldn’t have such mental health risks associated with it.)

I know. I can talk. I’m a man. And if I were a woman, I’m not in your shoes.

But right is right, not because of who we are, but because God is.

May you know Him near.

Sincerely,
Mark

Georgia: Peachy for Life

A poll shows Georgia is the most pro-life state in the union, indicating that 57% of voters favor the overthrow of Roe vs. Wade.

This is roughly ___ points above the next nearest state polled.

How many percentage points do you think Georgia is ahead of the next nearest state? (I was surprised.)

Here’s the opening paragraph of the source story:

On July 20th of this year, the voters in over forty-five Georgia counties, representing all thirteen Congressional Districts, will have an opportunity to answer the pressing question of when life begins. Appearing on the July 20th Primary ballot is the following poll, “Do you support an amendment to the Georgia state constitution so as to provide that the paramount right to life is vested in each human being from the earliest biological beginning until natural death?”

Source: Coming to a Ballot Near You: When Does Life Begin?

Whether or not you vote in Georgia, pray for God-honoring, life-supporting results.

(Isn’t Georgia the peach state?)

Above all, love God!
