We need to change people's hearts, not build bigger walls. And that includes those people who are opposed to abortion and who become suspiciously silent or claim wide-eyed innocence when these tragedies occur. Personally, I could never turn away a patient who needs my help. I know my advocacy and services are just a drop in the ocean considering all the needs that people have. I can never forget the big picture and what it means for abortion to be legal in the United States and, hopefully someday, in the entire world.
Reasonable people disagree over abortion .
But it is unreasonable to use violence or fear to intimidate providers and patients from exercising rights guaranteed by the Constitution. It is unreasonable that doctors are discontinuing the provision of a necessary medical service simply out of fear. And it is unreasonable that my children are not allowed to play in our yard because it is not safe.
