just randomly accusing groups of people of specific and very obviously insane wrongs (ie 'you pro-life people want women to die') is

slander

don't do it

please don't just casually slander ppl

that they are your culture war opponents doesn't make it ok

all you Madeleine L'Engle stans ... this is your moment for reasons only you will understand

Eisenhower: “Owing to pressure of work (invading France with the Allies in two weeks) I cannot come to speak at Eton.”

get in, loser, we're thwarting the Catilinarian conspiracy

'Those who have been given reason by nature have also been given right reason, and thus law, which is right reason in ordering and forbidding. If law has been given, so has right. And reason has been given to all persons. Therefore, right has been given to all persons.'

'If whatever is according to nature were also according to judgment, and if human beings “thought that nothing human is alien to themselves” (as the poet states), right would be cultivated equally by all.'

'He has recognized that he is not surrounded by the walls of some place but is a citizen of the whole universe as if it were one city—in this magnificence of things, and with this view and knowledge of nature, O immortal gods, how he will know himself!'

I think it's fine for one's Christian faith to lead one to promote specific laws. It was fine for Valentinian to outlaw infanticide, it was fine for Christians to vote for the 13th amendment on the basis of their faith... all totally fine. Let's not do this.

the story is the worst nightmare I can imagine. We must make sure that all the laws we promote post-Roe have the protections that the Texas law does, and that these protections are well understood by doctors.

louder for those in the back

let's not do liberalism again by backing into it through defending Schmitt or by defending a radical separation of the 'Christian man' from the 'political man'

And not just Christian history, but classical history as well - this is in no sense a question of Christian universalism as against pagan particularism, or a particularism that is 'by nature' while universalism is 'by grace'/part of the Church only.

A huge problem is the spate of pieces saying 'TX LAWS WILL LEAD TO DOCS GETTING SUED IF THEY TREAT ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES!'

Anyone who's publishing that stuff has partial responsibility if any doctor does get spooked, fail to understand the law, and neglect a patient to their harm.

People in the pro-life movement are driven by the desire to protect infants from dismemberment and murder.

It's wrong to say that people who have spent their lives trying to protect unborn children and their mothers have been working towards/desire the horror described by OP.

This isn't true. No one in the pro-life movement has either wanted or worked hard for something like this to happen.
