Over at Secular Pro-life Perspectives<\/a>, they are marveling (and, fair warning, cussing) at the fact that the Alt Right gets that the prolife movement (the real one, the one that cares about stopping abortion and not about electing Alt-Right candidate Donald Trump) is about human rights, not the oppression of women\u2013and rejects it precisely on that basis. The Alt Right loves both misogyny and racism\u2013as well as eugenics. It is its raison d\u2019etre<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And it is now a power in the land<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will be fascinating to see how strange bedfellows will become with the rise of the Alt Right. Will anti-abortion-but-not-prolife folk prostrate themselves even to these racists who don\u2019t even pretend to respect them, merely for the sake of Trumpian Republican power? Or will they say, \u201cWhat kind of monsters are we becoming?\u201d and walk away?<\/p>\n

Will abortion-on-demand-without-apology types make common cause with Alt Righties merely because they support abortion? Or will they say, \u201cWhat kind of monsters are we becoming?\u201d and walk away\u2013perhaps even realizing for the first time that they do indeed share with the Alt Right a contempt for human dignity?<\/p>\n

Will the minority prolife movement\u2013the one with a consistent life ethic\u2013get the hearing it deserves and be able to liberate people enslaved to ideology to listen to Holy Church\u2019s whole teaching? I sure hope so. If you want to help that happen, check out Life Matters Journal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
