Beware!

In a few weeks, our San Francisco community will be confronted with a massive parade of several thousand Catholics. Their purpose is to heed the call of a few churches to deny women and girls abortion care.

Around our country, this United States, religious-fomented violence has created a climate of fear. The murder of doctors who have courageously provided abortion care, the pillaging and arson of clinics providing reasonably available abortion procedures, and layers of prohibitive legislation designed to recriminalize this relatively safe health care provision are zealous efforts to keep this optional decision unacceptable in the social mindset. Still, across the land, men and women do want abortion to be safely available, accessible and without undue costs.

From the 1820s forward, men and women felt the bitter effects of abortion prohibition as applied by law, medicine and religion. Thousands of young women went to an early death in the struggle to be relieved of unbearable pregnancies. All too often, the deceased women left young families without wives and mothers. Yet curiously, the death certificate would lie about the cause of death.

Abortion became an underground occurrence, secretive, and unmentionable to the point that as recent as 1959, the mass media did not use the word “abortion.” Instead, it was referred to as “illegal operation” or “miscarriage.” This shady subterfuge befell women over the last two centuries in a disastrous way.

 In Ireland there’s a septic tank grave
Well hidden in the nuns enclave!
Therein 800 babies and little children
Starved and diseased ’til religious fate felled ’em!
Forced into birth to punish their moms
For the crime of indulging in sexual charms!
So be warned there’s a dark side to clergy control
Of your breeding equipment, your heart and your soul!!
