I wrote up on why the pro-life and disability rights movements should work together as I think that there are common principles. Today,
it was published in America.
When I read about disability rights advocates who accept or silently condone abortion, or when I look at pro-life materials and find almost nothing on the disabled, I cringe. Both disability rights and pro-life groups adhere to the same basic principle—that humans have inherent dignity based on who they are, not what they can do—yet they too often disagree.
The two groups should be wayfarers on a common path. I say this not only because of their common principles but also based on my own experience.

People tend to admonish me (like you're doing here) while ignoring all the nastiness they eagerly dished out (like you did here)
I won't foul up Father's post with a direct quote. With my fellow laity, I follow a simple standard. I give what I get.
