I got QLed, so I’m reupping.

So there is this fuckery from “The ‘Gospel Coalition.’” The author is Karen Swallow Prior, who is a professor at Liberty University. Basically, she gives a right-wing Christian argument for so-called “hospitality,” which means that the Red Hen should have served Sarah Sanders.

And as I said, we get fuckery, where she describes how, years ago, she confronted a doctor who performed abortions in a store:

I knew what my role was when I was at the clinic protesting at the site where his hands did their dirty work. But I had no idea what I was supposed to do when I faced him in the clean, well-lighted convenience store, where citizens of all walks of life come together, bonded by our common need to buy gas, milk, bread, coffee, and water.

Suddenly, with no forethought or plan, with his back still toward me, I spoke gently toward his ear, “When are you going to stop killing babies?”

My tone was as if I’d asked if he thought we might get some rain soon. My volume such that the cashier made no indication he’d heard me speak.

But the abortion doctor heard.

He wheeled around so fast that my heart began beating impossibly faster than it had been before. His voice exploded into a torrent of angry words, aimed like bullets at my impassive face. I stood still and didn’t say another word. When the alarmed cashier—who had no idea what caused this outburst—tried to calm the man, the doctor turned on him, telling him he would never come into this store again. Finally, after what seemed like hours but was probably only a minute, he stormed out of the store.

And then there’s a whole people should have served Sarah Sanders and Maxine Waters should not use those words, because it’s not hospitable. Then we come to the end and her supreme hypocrisy:

If I could go back to that scene in the convenience store today, would I do the same thing? Yes, I think so. I was unexpectedly given the opportunity to offer piercing words, spoken in love, in hopes of pricking a man’s conscience.

She’d do it again. She’d tell the doctor (not ask) again: “When are you going to stop killing babies?” This is fucking bullshit. (Here’s the whole piece of trash: thegospelcoalition.org )

She got a number of laudatory tweets, but I gave her a piece of my mind in several tweets.

Dear Karen, re your TGC article: You were downright rude and obnoxious to that doctor. If this is the “radical hospitality” of Jesus, count me out. I’d rather have the Scientologists picket my home again. They didn’t cloak their hostility in fake love like you do.

You want people who do not share your views to be civil, but you still think you would still tell that man (not ask, this was a demand) “When are you going to stop killing babies?” You give yourself a pass on civility and hospitality because you’re “pricking” his conscience.

And finally, with regard to abortion, pro-lifers have had 45 YEARS to convince the country of the rightness of your cause. Your side failed, because you revealed how much you care about life for the newly born (as in, you’re not willing to put your money where your mouth is).

Tired of this bullshit. And yes, pro-lifers have had 45 years to convince people of the rightness of their cause, but instead it’s become exquisitely clear how much they want to control the bodies of women. For that, they can surely fuck off.
