First Things Magazine: “To identify as pro-life post-Dobbs is not simply to hold an opinion many regard as wrong; it is to be part of an act of political and social “oppression.” And predictably, many Christians are feeling the need to “nuance” their relationship to the overturning of Roe. The National “Catholic” Reporter has excelled itself in this regard… Continue (quotation marks supplied)
