Jerry’s Marginalia — “Convenient Sanctity”
It’s wild how loudly “protect the children” gets shouted until protecting them stops being convenient.
Suddenly “life is sacred” doesn’t include the life of the girl, the trauma in her bones, the nightmare stuck behind her ribcage, the future she’s supposed to somehow still build.
Suddenly “morality” looks a whole lot like “control dressed in church clothes.”
It’s crazy how quickly the loudest voices claim divine authority over a uterus they will never possess, pain they will never carry, and choices that will never scar them the way they scar the one forced to endure them.
They demand obedience from the womb and abandon responsibility the second the child actually exists.
That’s not faith. That’s power fantasy.
That isn’t righteousness. That’s policing existence.
And while everyone screams across timelines and edits memes until the original meaning evaporates into dopamine, real humans bleed, break, and shoulder burdens because someone decided their body was acceptable collateral for ideology.
The internet treats it like theater. The culture treats it like debate club. But for real people? It’s hospitalization, fear, shame, trauma, and a life bent permanently around a decision forced on them.
And yeah — that makes you angry. Because anger is what happens when injustice refuses to pretend to be polite anymore.
Some of us still remember that compassion isn’t selective. Protection isn’t conditional. And if you claim to stand for life, that life has to include the one being forced to live it.
Until then?
It’s not morality.
It’s control.
