Abortion

On January 20th, 2025 we had a major shift.  With the election of Donald Trump just over 50% of the country's chose conservatism.

As one who voted in the majority, how will I be respectful and inclusive of those who lost?

Can I encourage a few more of the country's thinking to conservatism by loving kindness that leaves room for them to find enlightenment? 

I can only pray for the next election to be between candidates on the same side of the political ideology with the winner being a better communicator and leader.

The Supreme Court's new ruling overturning "Roe vs Wade"  did not outlaw abortion.
Have you ever read the Supreme Court ruling overturning "Roe vs Wade?" The link is below.  You will notice the ruling was based on a lack of support for abortion in the constitution.  It pushed abortion law back to the states. The ruling did not outlaw abortion.

Given a lack of moral clarity in America, the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Amendments provide a framework to help us navigate through the debate as a country. I believe we will eventually settle into a majority on one side of the issue.  For now, laws can be unique within each state and allow the issue to evolve peacefully and according to God's timing. Notwithstanding the consequences of the karma of abortion reflected in cataclysms like those from the Christian Old Testament. 

If we don't like our State's Law on abortion, we can inconvenience ourselves rather than passively live with it. 
->We can move to another state more congruent with our views.
->We can loving work to change the hearts of those who choose abortion over life.
I personally know women who believe one day abortion will be one of past tragedies like slavery.

Obvously conservatives do not all agree on the issue of abortion. Some have been taught by Church Clergy that ending the life of an unborn child is 1st degree murder. Some only believe society has lost spiritual truth on what happens in the womb after conception. Those who believe differently have an ultimate challenge to love unconditionally. To patiently pray for a change of heart in others. 

Doesn't it behoove us to live our lives as an example of tolerance and compassion? Let our example, and let prayer be the doer to transcend the Golden Rule into action! 

I ask myself how a holy one would change hearts. I have plenty of examples to draw from. A few examples might be:   Gandhi, Mohammad, Gautama Buddha, Jesus, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Mother Teresa, Milarepa.
