Too many women and children have suffered from being forced to give birth or be born into a situation riddled with extreme hardship or lack of love. A woman’s access to control of her ability to reproduce does not guarantee that this will never happen again but surely there would be many fewer cases of children who are physically and spiritually malnourished, and women whose access to using their full potential is amputated, requiring superhuman exceptionalism to regain. The Hobby Lobby folks are relying less upon universal respect for life and more upon an ancient system of anti-female patriarchy than upon love and reason. I doubt that they will in turn stand with those of us who refuse to support war in any of its forms.
