Billboard: “I Had an Abortion and I’m Not Apologizing”

I have noticed a definitive tone when people champion an idea. It's very one-sided and listening rarely happens. I mentioned this on another thread and I'll paste it here because I think it applies.

The problem with all of this is we no longer live in a society where thought and reason are prevalent. If you express sympathy for someone’s suffering it’s not enough. Moving to empathy rarely satisfies.

It is not enough to recognize an injustice if you fail to see it from their perspective and won’t take action. Your response must meet their approval and include continued arguments and opposition to anyone who believes differently.

When empathy breeds slavery there can be no agreement. While I recognize there are grievous wrongs in the world, I won’t become a doppelganger or automaton to appease the injured.

I've witnessed it on this site and others. I don't know what breeds that mindset. But disagreement has become racism or another negative label in its place. There's a prevailing belief that if the listener isn't passionate about your cause in the identical way something is amiss.

I don't agree with that stance and I've wearied of social justice and its spokespeople. There's too much strife and contention in their speech. And I'm starting not to care in all truth. I'm tired of the yelling, name calling, and theatrics.

And we have a portion of the Church who support them with their votes, and non-votes. And these people claim to be more righteous than Trump?
