We went and saw the play “Dear Evan Hansen” last night. To tell you anything about it would be to spoil the thing. However, I will say this – if you have a teenager, this is a play for and about them. Take them to it.
While I was watching the play I couldn’t help but think of Paul Gauguin. He was a man who created a world that didn’t exist, that never existed, but he imagined it so.
This led me to think about Rosie Perez who was recently on a talk show and talked about the decision to overturn Roe and how that would lead inevitably to many children being born that will be unwanted and unloved…and abused.
This leads me to Rudy Giuliani who in the early 90s took credit for the drop in New York City crime due to his efforts. The head of the LA PD did the same in his city. None of their claims held up under scrutiny. It was wishful projection on their parts. The best explanation I have heard came from Malcolm Gladwell who pointed out that the 1973 decision of Roe led to fewer unwanted children coming of age in the early 1990s and therefore less crime because abused children find others to abuse and when they come of age that translates to the kind of crime Rudy pounded his chest and said he stopped (but really didn’t.)
So, what can we expect with unwanted children being foisted onto people who don’t want then and in turn onto our streets and society?
This leads me to ask the question of what do these people who want to end abortion really want?
And, what do the people behind them puling the strings to get them to act want?
Certainly, as has been shown time and time again, it’s not for protecting life or any such nonsense like that because there is no follow through on their part to make lives better. It anything it seems those people do everything in their power to make people’s lives more miserable.
Okay. I’m done.
