Ending the Culture of Abortion Won’t Happen in The Supreme Court
Imagine a world where abortion was unthinkable.
Imagine a world where, every single time that pregnancy took place, that child was born to responsible parents who wanted to love and care for him or her.
Imagine a world where there was no sexual assault, no incest, no human trafficking, no abuse, no pedophilia, or sexual perversion.

Imagine a world where medical science was so advanced that women no longer suffered during pregnancy and childbirth.
Imagine a world where everyone agreed that abortion was not necessary.
We do not live in that world.
The world we live in is not a perfect fairytale. This world is messy and nuanced and complicated. This is especially true when it comes to topics as personal as sex, pregnancy, or raising the next generation.
There is no quick-fix, permanent solution, or easy answer to the questions that are plaguing our world today.
Abortion is one of the most complicated issues that our culture is grappling with.

Does our desire to “protect the lives of the innocent” extend to those who are currently suffering in our world?
When we polarize and divide ourselves between ideas, we often create more conflict than solutions.
Abortion is not the…
