I am pro-life, a Christian married to a ministry leader for 32 years, with 2 family members who volunteer at prolife centers. I know hundreds of pastors & thousands of Christians. I cannot say what each of these believes, but I assure you, I’ve never heard anyone teach that women ought to be punished if they get pregnant out of wedlock. Jesus himself did not condemn the “woman caught in adultery” (and ugh, in that account there is no mention of the man who obviously must have been caught too- because the world has had double standards for way too long!). Jesus said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” And of course, none could throw any because we all do things that are wrong. That is the stance I see most prolife people having. These centers offer all kinds of support for women and would also wholeheartedly like to see men step up to their responsibilities as well. The ones you referenced who want to punish must be a small fraction. I have no animosity toward the woman in an unwanted pregnancy, I just feel compelled to see the life of the child as valuable too.
I’m sorry if you have felt the sting of sexism. It has happened and it continues in some ways. I have felt it at times too. I personally think that 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
There is not an easy solution, but I appreciate having the discussion with you. Not sure if you believe in God or not, but with a kindly intent I say “May God bless you with peace and joy and love!”
You are kind and I like kind people, even when they differ from me politically. Kindness is the only way our world is going to hang together. Goddess speed to you as well!
