We are hating our calling to be women. It is the worst kind of illusion to pretend that the scraping clean of a uterus and the dissection of the tiny fingers and heart and head inside of it comprise a viable choice, an affirmation of one s freedom as a woman. I am guilty as a Christian. Every year I allow over a million martyrs to march unnoticed before my eyes, and I suppose that my private opposition to abortion makes the slightest difference. My silence makes me an accomplice to the crime.
American law permits abortion.
But before the divine law, I am guilty. He chooses the tax collectors and sinners. He chooses you. He chooses you right now, as you read these words, to start speaking the truth. The truth makes you free, and you re still allowed to speak the truth in this country.
