In one simple quote, Sister Joan Chittister, O.S.B. sums up the hypocrisy in the ‘pro-life’ movement:

“I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.”

This short post sums up where we need to be on the “pro life/ anti abortion” (covertly Anti Planned parenthood) controversy. This anti movement is spearheaded by many “conservative Christians?, many political aspirants and sitting representatives. The reality is that too many have no idea what planned parenthood does but they are quite eager to believe heavily edited video along with audio out of context to bolster their agenda. I am especially intrigued that Carly Liarina has repeated the lie even after being corrected. The followers of these aspirants seem to be against reading, listening or investigating any other information (perhaps avoiding the truth) yet they have the right to vote. Our intrinsic biases are often our worst enemies in that those biases do not allow for any thinking beyond the scope of those preferences. It is appropriate to post this quote in light of the recent Colorado Planned Parenthood shootings.
