We shall see in the coming years if Sister Joan Chittister's remarks from 2004 were wrong or right.
Life is precious.
Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

Life is precious.
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overruled the nearly 50-year-old Roe v Wade decision from 1973. This marks a monumental victory for Texans who value the life of the unborn. With this landmark decision, the highest court has returned the issue to individual states along with the power to set their own abortion laws.
Last year, the Texas Legislature passed a law that makes this reversal of Roe v Wade effective 30 days from today’s ruling.
Like many of you, I believe every life is precious. That’s why last session, in the state budget I worked to increase alternatives to abortion by over $100 million and sponsored HB 133 to extend postpartum Medicaid for women. Together, we can create a culture of life.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Who is going to care for all these unwanted full-term babies that will now be born [some of whom may have severe handicaps or genetic conditions]?
What financial and/or economic proposals can anyone here suggest [or recommend] that will provide the wherewithal to house, feed, educate, and eventually provide jobs for this year on year considerable addition to the US population?
Also, it turns out that artificially reducing the size of a generation has some nasty consequences when your country ends up with more old people than young. The US will have to actively work to encourage families just to get back up to replacement levels. And we're in better shape than most - I believe that includes Germany.*
*Apologies if I recalled incorrectly - I recall you being German. I tend to notice just because I spent three years learning German and never got to really use it.

The question was about the increase in numbers of unwanted pregnancies. Are there enough resources to provide for all those unwanted children if the mothers, despite centres like your own, still do not want to keep them? How many more thousands of Americans are prepared to adopt as each year more unwanted infants arrive in the world? Particularly those infants with disabilities or genetic conditions.
And the second question was:
What financial and/or economic proposals can anyone here suggest [or recommend] that will provide the wherewithal to house, feed, educate, and eventually provide jobs for this year on year considerable addition to the US population?
We're also one of the more generous peoples - so even if we did have a problem, we could solve it without a new government program. As spread out as the impact will be, most churches can cover the emergency costs with a spaghetti supper - two if the mom is sick.

FYI: I'm all for building the wall - mass immigration does pose problems for us, but it also relieves political pressure from badly run nations and they need that pressure to become better run nations."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Stupid middle class girls will survive just fine. Most of their parents already live in stupid states and those that don't can afford the plane ticket. But the truth is, most will just get their stupid kid to the doctor for that monthly depo - cheaper and easier than moving."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
