\"Dobbs<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve marched and educated and advocated, and finally it\u2019s happened, as of June 24, 2022: months shy of 50 years, the United States courts will now allow citizens to influence abortion policy without judges telling them they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The work ahead is huge, but at least it now has the chance to be more effective.<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an analogy with another January 22 event \u2013 the entry into force of the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons<\/a> in 2021. It helps tremendously that nuclear weapons are explicitly illegal, but it\u2019s not had much impact on those countries that actually have nuclear weapons. The treaty wasn\u2019t an end point. It allowed for more effective organizing.<\/p>\n

In the same way, we know that while some states will move to protect unborn children, others will push for their destruction all the more. And even the states that do pass laws to protect the babies will need to be pushed to do more than merely prohibit killing them, but also to provide for the flourishing of mothers, fathers, and children. Providing for such human flourishing is both worthwhile on its own merits and also makes it less likely parents will arrange to kill the unborn children in a different U.S. state or by some hidden method.<\/p>\n

And everywhere, we must keep educating about how using violence as a problem-solver on this or any other issue is usually counterproductive and always wrong.<\/p>\n
