A priestess of the Church of the Holy Abortion tries to make the new reality clear to a pregnant anti-choicer. Abortions are holy now and required. But don’t worry, you can still have a baby in ten of the fifty states!
Inspired by the Dobbs decision and reactions to the loss of Roe V Wade, this piece explores what the anti-abortion rhetoric could sound like on the other side. Looking at the flipped justifications of those who want to impose their beliefs on the rest of us, we can see how absurd they really are.
