It’s difficult to understand the angry, threatening demands of women
who think that automatic “respect” status is theirs, even when they show obvious
signs of disrespecting themselves, an indication of their own confusion. Respect comes from within. We
were all created to be respected, most particularly by ourselves. Just as we are called to respect our own
bodies, we are called to pay respect to others, not the least of whom are our
own children in the womb.
