“If the pro-life movement wants to defend life, it must also shame the behavior that puts women in the impossible position of choosing between their future and their child’s. We cannot claim to value life while letting men walk away from the lives they are also responsible for. It is time to call out the cowards—the ones who pressure, manipulate, or abandon.
We need to stop letting them hide behind silence or excuses. They need to man up and step up. Support doesn’t end at conception. Real men protect. Real men provide. Real men stay. The pro-life movement must be just as vocal in condemning the men who emotionally blackmail women into abortion as it is about condemning the act itself.”
Jenna Ellis is correct. I find the author of this hit piece rather hollow. As if he wishes women to stop becoming accidentally and irresponsibly pregnant because it costs him money, dressed up as critiquing women’s moral failings.
Guess who needs to restablish and value virtue? Men do. Men need to step up and keep it in their pants. They need to lead in reclaiming morality and virtue as a personal and social good. Women will follow.
I agree. Men need to be men and lead sober, responsible and God-fearing lives.
It is the responsibility of both sexes. Men need to embrace the virtue of self-control and respect for women. Women need to expect and demand that their men act in a virtuous and manner. To this last point, Fulton J. Sheen once said: “To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
Its both men and women that need to change. Women have agency so don’t blame this at the feet of men. Proverbs warns of loose women corrupting men for instance so even God doesn’t buy your opinion.
Agree 100%.
If men are to be the moral leaders, pray for a cultural shift, towards a world where male chastity isn't seen as something to be scorned or ridiculed.
