Fanatics have managed to frame the abortion debate
so it feels the only option is choosing which side to take.
The result? Suffering, death, and a cultural divide
with everyone feeling pressured to take a side.
When self-righteousness and hate have sway,
the truth, it seems, just gets in the way.
The irony is both extremes are wrong,
it’s the middle way that’s been right all along.
But before we can hope to be reconciled,
we must first agree on what makes a child.
