Stumbling upon original thinking is a bonus.
It's bonus time.
For I stumbled upon a provocative commentary on abortion that was published in Philadelphia's The Bulletin on Roe's anniversary.
"On Morality, Abortion and Empires," by Associate Professor of English Andrew Harvey, first appeared here on the website of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College in Pennsylvania.
Harvey applies history to teach readers a lesson about abortion. He begins with the sixth century Byzantine Empire mindset towards abortion as it applied to the courtesan Theodora in the historian Procopius' account. The professor writes:
At the height of his calumny, when Procopius really attacked the empress, he charged Theodora of having procured multiple abortions. This was the depth of her turpitude, the lowest of the low, the worst thing he could imagine.

Thanks for this tip.
My sampling of the site suggests that I will appreciate reading it.
