A dear friend of mine sent this to me, saying that it’s quite likely the best thing she’s ever read on abortion. Coming from her, that means something — she has read extensively on the topic. And indeed, the essay offers a unique perspective and so many statements worth pausing and reflecting on. The first one is right there in the lede: «Abortion is often talked about as a grave act. But bringing a new life into the world can feel like the decision that more clearly risks being a moral mistake.»
