Insanity wins another round at the WaPo.
Roe’s impending reversal is a 9/11 attack on America’s social fabric, Dana @Milbank writes https://t.co/6pxAG4YnzK

Soooo, allowing people in each state to actually vote on an important issue is akin to the killing of thousands of people? Huh?
And now preventing the killing of innocent human beings is now…terrorism? That doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense, does it? Preventing killing of innocents is terrorism? Come on Dana Milbank. Try harder. Even clickbait has to make some sense.
But kudos to Milbank for forgetting to invoke racism or slavery in his essay. And say, what about Hitler? Nothing? Now I’m starting to feel Milbank mailed this one in.
Here’s one thing I couldn’t help but think about. In states like New York and California, abortion will continue right up until Kindergarten. So yeah, red states will have more children in a time where blue states are already losing people. This could lead to a massive shift in political power throughout the country. Maybe that’s what they fear.

The only comparison is both are planned by the government for nefarious purposes. Why is Roe suddenly being repealed? To take away the “my body my choice” argument agajnst the vaccines. Then they will just pass a law saying there is a right to abortion. I don’t trust them. The only way abortion really ends is when the US loses WW3.

“The only way abortion really ends is when the US loses WW3.”
No. Only when God intervenes and converts our hearts will abortion really end. In the mean time we can only makes laws that protect the unborn, whether they restrict or ban abortion altogether according to each state. It’s not the ideal but it will save a lot more babies then the current RvW does.

These people are the tares the devil sowed in. They have no hearts to convert.

Jorgen everyone has a heart no matter what you think and you have NO idea what they have in their hearts and minds unless you are God. Grow up.

That attitude is ehat let them get away with this for 60 years.

You betray your faith. No one gets away with anything either in this world or the next. Most of us would like to see them brought to justice in this world to so we feel like we won but our faith tells us to love our enemies and pray for them. God will bring justice to all in the end in ways we will never imagine.

I think there is potentially some truth to the analogy, although not in the way that Milbank intended with this tweet. The reference to it as a 9/11 attack is gratuitous and disgusting, but in terms of the societal impact following both events- there I think there might be some room for analogy. That is, in the way that the event itself (in the case of 9/11) had some significant impacts on the societal fabric, they way we see ourselves, etc., is analogous to what the reversal of Roe will entail societally. But that’s not a click-baity tweet I suppose.
With abortion set to go back to the States, we’re moving into a position where we’re going to have some equivalent of slave and free states again. And while RoevWade is unjust and needs to go, it did in some way thinly paper over the underlying societal conflict and in some respect provide the legal framework for that conflict, and in that sense has merely kicked the can down the road a few decades while almost certainly intensifying the forthcoming conflict. The issue clearly isn’t going away, and the battle will now take place on different fronts, which will no doubt be significantly impactful on the societal fabric.

I think for abortion to end, sex outside of marriage needs to end. And only when people convert their lives to Christ will that battle be won. The answer isn’t, “What to do about an unplanned pregnancy” … the answer is, “I don’t want an unplanned pregnancy, so I’m going to not have sex.”

The problem with that is people make bad decisions all the time, even after conversion/reversion or however you want to classify it. So when someone succumbs to sin what do we do?
I much prefer a more robust safety net (private organizations and government both) so that a pregnant woman doesn’t feel like abortion is the only option, or the best option. Ideally, she should have all the support she needs to know that abortion is an unneeded option.
