I have never seen the abortion issue framed this way. A very interesting, thought-provoking thread!

I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

In 1951, Bertrand Russel took to the @nytimes to argue that the best answer to fanaticism was a calm search for truth. His Ten Commandments of Liberal Inquiry could not be more relevant today. (Number 6 will blow your mind! ;) ) Thread.


Here’s a *little* something...to put things in perspective.

On July 19, 2013, NASA's #Cassini spacecraft captured images of Earth and the Moon from orbit around Saturn. Here's a color-composite made from three of those images acquired in red, green, and blue filters. This is *all of us* from 898 million miles (1.4 billion km) away. 🌎

We find purpose not by looking for it directly or waiting for it to be bestowed upon us. We find purpose by going to where we can serve, by seeking first and foremost to be of use.

I wish I could “like” this post 100 times. And I wish even more that the latest wave of “feminists” would stop lying to and about women.

"Feminism" informed by radical social constructionism has had a good run. Perhaps it's time for a feminism that recognises that most women give birth, breastfeed, feel conflicted over children+career & often choose intrinsic rewards over money & status



I hope so!

I finished the letter thusly: “I think that we can turn this thing around. We can stand for honesty and equality. For sexuality and love. For science and beauty and justice.” I still have hope that this is true. /end
