The same message; different messaging

Somethings are timeless on the arc of timeline, whether it is understood to be linear or curvilinear.
Biological age is a big determinant about how we understand it.
There are countless times when I have wondered about how young people understand and process what they hear in the media or social media.
I was recently taken aback when I heard a young girl repeat on TV a political argument about abortion, a difficult topic in a political campaign.
Different messages have been used about this topic.
If I am not mistaken, the original US constitution is silent about it.
Then people politicized it as pro-life and pro-choice.
I thought Nikki Haley came up with a wisdom that would depoliticize it when she said something to the effect that she would judge anyone for being pro-choice and that she wouldn’t want to be judged for being pro-life.
Those in favor of pro-choice use the line that a woman has an exclusive right to her body.
The young girl I incidentally watched and heard on TV used this line to argue like an adult. She didn’t look even a teenager.
Hearing the young girl talk like that made me ask quickly if young girls in Ethiopia would copy it like many young Ethiopians tried to copy rapping.
That is when I reacted reflexively: It is not about a woman’s body; it is that government is not God.
The most memorable part for me in Da Vinci Code is ancient Egypt’s sacred union culture. To this day, Tewahido means something.
The difficult issue is not about a woman’s body, it is about a union of a woman’s seed and a man’s seed in a woman’s body.
The less difficult issue is whether this is a business of any government.
The simple message, at least as much as I understand about it, is that government is not God..
