Letter in today’s Post

February 12, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

I have a letter to the editor in today’s Post. The original looked like this:

Though Stephanie Gray’s manner of fighting abortion is drastically different from my own, I fully support her. Gray is not saying abortion is exactly like the Holocaust or slavery. She is saying that where we fail to see people as people, atrocities easily occur—today, as in history.
At risk of sitting on the fence, I just don’t see much of a debate here. Killing our children is at the heart of abortion. And that is what is so unpopular, not the manner in which we draw attention it. Offering truly compassionate options so that women don’t have to kill their babies is one solution. Gray helps us to be compassionate insofar as she reminds us about the facts on what abortion is—facts so many today readily choose to ignore.

    Hey Andrea – too bad you open the letter by distancing yourself from Stephanie…I just don’t see how that is helpful to the cause…

    Hmmm. I’m not distancing myself from Stephanie–and wrote that letter with precisely the opposite intention–the intention of showing support. I look up to Stephanie–and those who criticize her so intensely ought to sit down and spend an hour with her, listening to the fullness of her argument and presentation. (which is, incidentally, what I did when I lived in Calgary.)

    PWPL is–in point of fact for all to see– drastically different from her work. My point is there is room for every pro-life effort and people need to slot themselves in where they feel comfortable. I would add that this will be the strength of the movement. I’d never ask someone for whom it is well outside their comfort zone to speak publicly, for example–and a person who can advocate verbally on campus may not have other strengths. Some people walk across Canada (crossroadswalk.org), others blog… you get my point.

    Having drastically different tactics is a strength–understanding that not everyone will want to participate in every effort.

    Amen, sistah!! There is strength in diversity. We’ll be a lot more effective if we don’t all try to do the same thing in the same way all the time…there’s room for all of us under this tent.
