Rachel MacNair: It’s the PITS

posted in Friends, Peace and Politics, What Democracy Looks Like |

Ben Paynter writes about a difficult subject today: Rachel MacNair, an expert on PTSD, an anti-abortion advocate and a peace activist. MacNair has a theory about PTSD that cuts to the heart of the malady. She calls it PITS, Perpetration Induced Traumatic Stress. Sounds like a complicated way to describe a guilt trip, but read Ben’s article, there’s a lot of food for thought.

    Good for Ben, and wonderful subject for the article; thank heaven for articulate activists whose energy and convictions push past obvious, ideological, obfuscatory nonsense to get at the kind of truth that really does set people free.

    go Ben! what a great article–he’s turned into a really good writer! I have heard the WWII statistics b4–Seymour Hirsch, in the new yorker, I think. But I think she’s onto something.

    I’ve respected Feminists for Life ever since I first heard of them. They are the only truly pro-life pro-lifers!
