OMG! Re-evaluation happens

News blues

The following is a very important point of view shared honestly by someone who was instrumental in the radicalization of current anti-abortion dogma. Please watch!
Evangelical Christian Minister Rev. Rob Schenck courageously admits he lost his way with his fervent anti-abortion views and how such views  were co-opted by cynical Republican politicians. 
While many people - particularly women - were harmed by his extremism, Schenck admits, and worked through, his  erroneous worldview, In this interview, shares his path and his course-correction: “Fmr. Pro-Life Leader on Abortion Ruling: Our Movement Has Lost its Soul” >> (18:15 mins)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

Texas. I just returned from a four-day visit to the over-heating state. Between 10:30am and 6:30pm, the heat is, literally, unbearable for humans and other mammals. 
What's more, masks-as-protection-against-Covid are rare in the Houston conurbation.
Texas is a reminder that it's difficult to assess where things  – social, cultural, economic, political, and climatic – are headed, not only in Texas, but globally. 
I fear things are headed nowhere good or life-affirming.
What are we humans doing?
Alas.
(Then again, the transformation of someone like the Rev. Rob Schenck (interview above) does offer some hope. I hope.)
