Pro-Choice Blogger on Why Men Should NOT Shut Up About Abortion

My pro-choice friend Deanna Young wrote a great blog post on this common pro-choice slogan. You should read the whole thing, but here’s my favorite quote:

Meet Deanna, my good friend.

Meet Deanna, my good friend.

“Another reason I don’t think men should shut up about abortion is because I don’t think anyone should shut up about abortion. I want to be on the right side of history and I think the right side is the one with the best arguments. The thing is, humans are terrible at taking a critical look at their own views. So, a good way to find out whether the pro-choice position is actually better than the pro-life position is to talk to pro-life people and see if our arguments hold up against theirs. But this kind of dialogue is impossible if we insist that half the population needs to shut up.”

An Amazing Lincoln Quote

“But those who say they hate slavery, and are opposed to it, where are they? Let us apply a few tests.

You say that you think slavery is wrong, but you denounce all attempts to restrain it. Is there anything else you think wrong, that you are not willing to deal with as a wrong? Why are you so careful, so tender of this wrong and no other? You will not let us do a single thing as if it was wrong; there is no place where you will allow it to be even called wrong! We must not call it wrong in the Free States, because it is not there, and we must not call it wrong in Slave States because it is there; we must not call it wrong in politics because that is bringing morality into politics, and we must not call it wrong in the pulpit because that is bringing politics into religion…and there is no single place, according to you, where a wrong thing can be called a wrong thing!”
