Having fought for the passage of Roe v. Wade back in the 70s and seeing this horrendous insanity with the Supreme Court, I am conflicted on what to write today.
Our country was built on the promise of freedom of religion. As the Rev. Serene Jones, President of Union Theological Seminary wrote, “This ruling has nothing to do with the law. It’s solely based on a distorted, warped version of Christianity that has been weaponized against women for too long…The Bible does not condemn abortion. It does, however, call on us to love and support one another. it’s beyond hypocritical for the religious right to latch onto abortion while supporting policies that literally kill people, like loose gun rules and restrictions on masks and vaccine mandates. Additionally, this decision will disproportionately harm communities of color and the poor, a reality that is clearly antithetical to biblical mandates of justice for us.”
One thing I do know: we must feel our feelings no matter what they are: rage, sadness, disbelief, betrayal, hopelessness and overwhelm, before we can transform them. This New Moon in Cancer is the time to do just that.
Take some time (preferably in Nature) to just Be with whatever you are feeling. You may also want to consider body work to assist you in releasing the emotional trauma from your body.
Commit to doing whatever it takes to create a world where every person has dignity and bodily autonomy and can choose when, whether, and how to make family and thrive. Being intentional and consistent is called for at this time to make a difference.
