(LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Supreme Court’s long-awaited reversal of Roe v. Wade has elicited intense reactions from abortion defenders, many of whom have opted to double down on the extremes of their stance rather than moderate their positions to appeal to Americans who can now directly vote on abortion’s legality.
One such reaction came from author and “feminist theorist” Sophie Lewis, writing in the pages of left-wing publication The Nation, staking out a more shocking – and more honest – position than standard abortion apologetics. Instead of framing the issue with euphemisms like “reproductive health care” or “controlling women’s bodies,” Lewis starkly proclaims with her headline “Abortion Involves Killing–and That’s OK!”
Lewis, who is no stranger to defending abortion as “acceptable violence,” writes that “those of us who have helped a friend terminate a pregnancy” are “well situated to understand that something is killed during a uterine evacuation, much as a flower dies when it is plucked,” and that the “euphemistic, apologetic, placatory ‘pro-choice’ strategy hasn’t worked out thus far,” so now is the moment for champions of “choice” to “reset the terms on which abortion is fought.”
