To my shame I did not mention the passing of the date that commemorates Roe vs. Wade.

In fact, we rarely mention it at all anymore. This article from ten years ago highlights we may have been bored of this for quite some time.

Getting past the issue of “unwanted pregnancies,” or “endangering the life of the mother,” when I think about the loss of life in the past decades, and how we have lost the possibility of many fresh voices in our world… it is tragic. It is tragic I don’t remember this date more. It is tragic we don’t even dare to think of the loss of life anymore.

This isn’t some call to vote Republican or hate Democrats or vote any way at all. It’s just a pause… to think… Voices lost… creativity halted… advancements not even attempted… because we have lost millions of possibilities.

We are a diminished generation no matter how you slice it.
