Our society is increasingly degrading human beings full of life to means toward the end of productivity. This season, we want to identify and address pro-abortion messaging that degrades women and erodes each person’s understanding of the value of his or her life. In the weeks since Texas’s heartbeat bill has passed, pro-life efforts have taken a prominent place in the media. In a hearing on SB8 last week, a Texas state rep boldly claimed that parenting prevents a woman’s success, and even her destiny. This presumption sounds outlandish, but it is widely accepted and affirmed, leading to a corrupted definition of success in our society. Today, we want to make a case against the message presented by Donna Howard. Motherhood, fatherhood, and family are building blocks of a thriving nation, not an outdated norm.
