Graffiti from El Salvador
(August 24) I read this because of Gloria Steinem’s Instagram: ‟His book, Life’s Work, will change you.ˮI have always supported the right to abortion and never had any moral qualms about it, but Parker lays out all the reasons why abortion must be legal in a humane society and all of the reasons why anti-abortion activists do not have any claim to higher moral ground, so logically and serenely, so incontrovertibly, that I felt actively proud to be pro-abortion.
He points out what’s really going on with anti-abortion activists… they are not just blind but actually evil (not his word but the ultimate goals of anti-abortionism are pretty harrowing).
And you think -- wow, if a guy as righteous and spiritual as this can take this position and moreover argue it so persuasively… how can any of us have the slightest qualm?
So it was a very interesting and empowering read.
