You Can’t Take the Back Alley Out of Abortion

You Can’t Take the Back Alley Out of Abortion | First Things: Abortion supporters embody the single biggest indicator of delusion, which is this: In order to see things working out their way, they have to imagine the world different than it is. They need this to keep going — they need to keep looking forward to the vision they have in mind. But what they lose along the way is a deeper understanding of why abortion isn’t accepted in public and medical life. Rather than trying to understand why support for abortion dwindles, they turn away, they cover up, they try to hide the discomforting part of abortion from patients, from nurses, from themselves.
