Of monstrous menace and malice
During mass at the monastery
must lust
Abortion rears its ugly head
So to speak
You can still be cannibals of Jesus
And drink his blood like a freaking vampire
If you believe products of conception aren’t human (yet)
Or treating them like tumors and excising them
Are the prerogative of mothers with unwanted pregnancies -
Not men, or the fathers, or the priests who call themselves fathers -
Despite knowing (fact, not opinion) that life begins at conception
But also knowing that we are just animals
So if you’re really pro-life
You shouldn’t be eating meat, either.
Or yogurt, if you want to get technical.
You should be sweeping the ground in front of you
Like the Jains (or at least the Jain monks)
Because you wouldn’t hurt a fly
But if you are as holy as all that,
You are probably a buddhist, with equanimity
Even for mothers snuffing their own babies
Because you are one with the universe
Om
my voice corrected me, with saying 'there's a lot more nuance to the debate' (sounds right)
