Gorlicka: Progressive Left pro-life

All organizations and movements with anti-abortion postulates in their program are usually associated with the alleged moral right. Hence, the argument utilized to justify the request to defend human life from conception until death has spiritual or general metaphysical connotations.

Undecided persons and supporters of the statutory compromise frequently feel aversion due to the fact that being a deist who speaks “the tongue of God” makes an activist pro-life associate of an inclusive group not to say exclusive. In public spaces, supporters of “life” are attacked with peculiar engulfment by leftist movements (left, both moral and economic). Anarchocommunists, LGBTQ activists and school youth are leading the way to entertain themselves.

Progressives Against Abortion

However, it turns out that there are NGOs that focus atheists, progressives, people identifying with LGBTQ, communists, socialists, anti-racist activists and feminists as part of the thought pro-life. Although it sounds like a gag and so is the phenomenon seen by journalists and sociologists, it is likely that in any minds progressive and anti-abortion values do not conflict.

One of the most popular organizations is the American Progressive Anti-abortion Uprising (PAAU). Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising) whose founder and leader is simply a feminist activist, atheist and animal protection activist Terrisa Bukovinac. To Teamu PAAUs include activists from environments associated with the left and ventures specified as the Equality Parade, Black Lives Matters is Secular Pro-Life. The majority of the members of the organization declare themselves as voters of Democrats, so they account for their representatives from legislature or the Communist authorities from decisions hitting the rights to life for all human being.

Atheists Knowing the Value of Life

PAAU is known for its happenings in central U.S. authorities locations and actions in abortion clinics, where, among another things, erstwhile cameras are present, they exhume the bodies of children aborted at various stages of pregnancy. They convince women not to undergo pregnancy appointments, compose articles arguing attitudes pro-life on the basis of progressive values specified as feminism (acceleration of penalties for rapists or extension of the social protection of women expecting a kid alternatively of opposing the rights of women and the rights of the child), anti-capitalism (emphasis on the importance of the existence of the full abortion industry, to which killing people simply brings financial benefits, but besides the fact that abortions are more frequently carried out among representatives of the lower social classes), Inclusion (words primarily anti-racist, i.e. emphasising that the burden of dark-skinned people, as well as eugenic abortions as a form of discrimination against people with disabilities) and the designation of life as the highest value (according to atheists) is defined as being the highest pro-life, they have more motivation than those who believe in the protection of the conceived life, due to the fact that it is the only chance for man to be – after death he is not expected to exist).

However, it should be stressed that the PAAU is more closely related to Polish government on the rules for the termination of pregnancy. For example, pregnancy abortion activists resulting from a prohibited act are divided, but the majority of them feel that the procedure should be possible. Thus, compared to Christian organizations that request abortion only in the event of a threat to their mother's life, PAAU is more liberal. However, this does not change the fact that in American standards, where abortion clinics are named (they be under the name of the organization) "Planned Parenthood" (Sic!Left group pro-life It is indeed an evenant.

Worldview mosaic pro-life

Although contemporary feminism, anti-racism and, above all, LGBTQ organizations are completely cut off from the values of the PAAU, akin initiatives should be exhibited in order to show a full scope of worldview options, as it turns out that the wall dividing the moral left and conservatives (called more frequently not entirely right) is possible to demolish. Description of progressives pro-life and these "ordinary" is akin to the division of conservative and libertarian freedomists. The erstwhile believe that “my freedom ends where individual else begins,” so the kid has the right, or freedom to be born and to live, no substance how it was conceived, and besides constitutes a separate being from his mother. On the another hand, these others consider freedom to be a woman’s ability to decide whether or not she wants to study a child. Thus, the arbitrator in all aspect is the stronger side (the law of the jungle).

Regardless of the stereotypes circulating on progressive environments, it is worth leaning over a possibly silent number of them, who recognizes the right to life as the most precious and actually wants to tolerate, even in the fight for rights for people with disabilities, alternatively than the vulgar display of their diversity, for example in school institutions.
