Secular Pro-Life has published an article of mine on their blog.
Some further thoughts on the topic:
I wrote in the article, “Ending Roe would be a Godsend, or whatever the atheistic equivalent of a Godsend is, for the psychological health and happiness, and structural cohesion, of the US of A. . . . So I am hopeful that the ‘let Roe go’ time may now have come.”
But in spite of the quick improvement that would then result in psychological health and happiness, there will still, naturally, be a moral rot at the core of the societies in the pro-choice states. If Roe is let go, I predict that that moral rot in the pro-choice states will result in growing decadence and flaccidity, while the fundamental health at the core of the societies in the pro-life states will result in greater and greater flourishing, and that eventually this will become obvious and the pro-life worldview will win. (I say this even though as a starting point, I personally find the pro-life states, more than the pro-choice states, to harbor some views, on issues other than abortion, that I would consider narrow-minded.)
Someone may say that this particular prediction of mine is a little subjective. But let’s see. At the very least, as the article mentions, letting Roe go would save quite a number of small Americans from a quite unnecessary deprivation of the long lives and unknowable possibilities on which they were just about to set out.
