Abortion As Vote Of No Confidence

A young man came to see me in the vestry. He had been dismissed from work. He said, “My girlfriend ratted on me. She told them I was doing drugs.” I said, “Why did she go to your work?” He said, “She’d had an abortion, and I was furious with her.” I said, “What made you furious?” He said, “It was a vote of no confidence in me!” OBSERVATION: I sought to give him a picture of how life could be. I said, "Here's what's supposed to happen ..." He laughed. He said, “You belong to another age!”
