a friend of mine commented on a photo that i have on myspace. i have a slideshow of favorite organizations, and 'feminists for life' is one of them. hence, the comment.well, it's put the issue back on my mind again. actually...it's put the personal importance of it on my mind.
my favorite thing about this organization is that it takes the issue of abortion a bit further than an issue of "killing unborn children", which to be honest is kinda a not-so-ideal place to start if one wants to build bridges. fem-for-life makes it an issue about women...that "women deserve better". it's about the innate value that women have...and i think that gives people (who want to help a woman who has an unwanted pregnancy) a place from which to speak to the fears, the abandonment, the loneliness...speak from a place of worth.
well, the fact that this approach is so important to me...has become rather important to me. it's been like a "duh" moment. :)
i think this is...always has been maybe...a snapshot of something bigger...like a 'calling' hint or something. my love of the feminine worth is so much bigger than an abortion issue...light bulb moment...i think it's only the tip of some iceberg. it's kinda interesting...and i think will become more so...
