Abortion: Controversies, Compassion, Collective Responsibility
Description
Abortion is an issue that pulls on my heart strings. It’s not a choice I’ve had to make personally, and I’m grateful for that, but I have held space for many as they shared their stories of the choices they faced after abuse, especially incest.
I’ve been present with young girls – children who do not know their bodies well enough to determine pregnancy at early stages – who are paralyzed in fear because no choice feels like a “good” choice.
And now I live in Texas whose lawmakers have recently passed the strictest abortion law in this country – no abortion after 6 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest. And several states are following suit.
Note: this topic is the next question from “The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.” The Texas law was passed after this chapter was written, but the Answer is relevant.
There is a lack of integrity, an incongruence between what we display as social norms and what we expect of the developing members of our society. The resultant situation is heart-breaking, and as a collective, we all hold some level of responsibility.
In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we offer prayers for the collective of humanity, for our culture, and for the individuals who struggle with difficult choices currently or from the past.
If abortion has been a choice you made and struggled with, you will find compassion and healing here. If you struggle to understand the dilemmas of others, I hope you gain clarity and understanding here. In any case, I hope you will join us in praying for the soul of humanity. We will also discuss changes we can expect in the Era of Peace and Universal Harmony.
Listen to this experiential heart-centered meditation for love, compassion, understand, and universal harmony.
The Meditation & Healing Circle is live every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. You're welcome to join us. If you join live, you can stay on after the meditation for Q&A, support and discussion.
