Not me, finding out that the prominent literary male author “cancelled” by the dishonest, hysterical feminist mob is on the syllabus in my ninth-grade daughter’s English class.

Still isn’t living

Behold: a story about the phenomenon that is Colleen Hoover that isn’t snarky toward or dismissive of the women who love her books.

“The problem with chick lit is it’s become more chick than lit,” said Bank. “…it’s as if to say these are books by chicks, about chicks and for chicks, and what happens to a single woman isn’t of consequence to anyone but herself or other women.”

These clinics mislead women and give them nothing. “They would say they know somebody that could probably refer me somewhere, that could help me financially, diapers and stuff like that. But I never received any phone call from anybody.”

These clinics brag about how they mislead women. “If we get people that are thinking we’re Planned Parenthood, we get them to come in. It has worked marvelously. We’ve rescued thousands of mothers.”

You are allowed all your grief and despair but I promise you there are systems in place to help: with funding, with travel, with obtaining pills. People have been building this for years. It works. And every one of us can do something to make those systems more robust.

Forcing a pregnant person to have a baby requires nothing. Raising a child requires a tremendous investment of time and resources. Pro-lifers had better be standing by with their hearts and wallets open, prepared to give those parents everything they need.

And it takes two to tango. Both people responsible for an unplanned child need to be accountable for that child’s care and feeding. Pro-lifers will make sure that happens.

Giving a baby up for adoption (or abandoning one at a hospital) is traumatic. Being an adopted child is hard. Adopting a child — especially one of a different race/ethnicity — has challenges. Pro-lifers will want to ensure that everyone who wants counseling gets it.

And of course they’ll make sure those kids have everything they need as they grow up, from car seats and strollers to braces and sports equipment. New shoes. Soccer team dues. Prom gowns.

I’m sure those churches will offer job training or host job fairs. They’ll support parents with free or subsidized housing. Pro-lifers will make sure the public schools have the resources they need to provide those saved babies with a top-notch education.

And of course they’ll be at our sides lobbying for gun control. Because what’s the point of saving babies if they can get shot in first grade?

Moms, remember what it was like to have a newborn? Remember how overwhelming everything felt? I’m sure the pro-lifers will be there to help with the laundry and the cleaning or just hold the baby long enough for the parent to take a shower.

If a pregnant person’s in an abusive situation, they’ll offer shelter and counseling and help getting out. They’ll help that person finish school. Find a job.

“It’s not the government’s job to be a safety net!“ Okay, then. I’m sure faith-based communities will step in. Churches will send meals to moms with newborns. Volunteers can help them cook and clean and take care of the kids they might already have.

For starters, they’ll want to be sure that parents and babies have somewhere safe to live and plenty of healthy food to eat.

Hope that the people who worked so hard to overturn Roe will now work just as hard to ensure that the babies they forced women to bear will have safe, productive, happy lives.
