Blog a la Cart

Thank you to reader Suzy for providing such a level-headed, honest, rational response to the most recent anti-choice rant that made its way into the comments of Blog a la Cart:

Let’s talk about the abortion debate after you’ve directed all that passion and conviction towards fixing our overwhelmed fostercare system. Use a bit of that outrage to advocate for the rights of abused and neglected children, instead of future children… because all dem babies turn into children. Put some of that passion behind equal pay for women, because then maybe they could afford to bring an unplanned pregnancy into this world. Fight for a better education system so these future women (and men) have more opportunities, and don’t end up stuck between a rock and an abortion clinic. Fight for sex education and access to birth control. Focus all that passion and righteousness towards advocating for all the puzzle pieces that would make abortion a non-issue. I LOVE babies. I also love healthy happy families, happy mothers, fathers, and children. Life is so much more than the act of being born.
