Review: Eberstadt's 'It's Dangerous to Believe' Part II | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I would wonder how Ms. Eberstadt would view the proposition that the best way to reduce abortion is to economically empower women to raise the children with a middle class sized subsidy of $1000 per month per child. I suspect that she would object to it as a way of subsidizing sin. Her position on abortion is to regulate sexuality and the place of women. I say the best source for the Gospel of Life would be the mouth of a female priest. I doubt she would agree. She is an anti-feminist - which takes a degree of self-loathing. She wants women to know their place in society - and its not the workplace.
She wants gays to know their place too. Probably psychiatric hospitals or reversion therapy. Like the contention that marriage must be fecund, it is quack theology and quack science.
Sadly, there are people who will buy this book because it reinforces their beliefs. However, it will mostly be older people. Most young people are accepting of gays and lesbians and abandon the pro-life position once they are old enough to have sex - and sexual freedom has been going on a lot longer than 1959 and the birth control pill.
