My mom experienced an ectopic pregnancy in 1956 when I was two years old. The doctors at the Catholic hospital my dad took her to would not perform surgery to remove the fallopian tube with the fetus inside. Had my mom’s best friend, who was a nurse, not intervened and convinced my dad to take her to a different hospital, she probably would have died.

I turned 18 in 1972. I voted for McGovern and so did my devoutly Catholic parents. Funny how a near death experience can clear the fog of what is moral and what isn’t. Pro birth is NOT pro life. Those bastards don’t care about anything except power, money and control.

Back to working to get out the vote and convincing my federal politicians to pass voting laws. Thanks for sharing this perspective David.
