The conversation about abortion is ramping up again since Alabama's recent upheaval. Perhaps it's more important than ever that we find a third-place position that includes nuance and freedom for people based on their own circumstances.
"Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked."
- George Carlin
