One thought on “William Collins – “Abortion, Christianity, Islam.””
It really is an indication of how much guilt people feel about abortion that an small middle aged woman standing in silent prayer can be deemed so powerful as to require arrest. Clearly she actually has no power other than the internal moral compass of the women who see her. Her presence, or knowledge holds up a mirror to those women and to wider society. They don’t fear her but their own conscience. Even Lily Allen’s ostentatious display of being unable to number her abortions looks more like bravado than genuine absence of empathy. She’ll remember and she knows she will.
