Taboo #1: Found Herself Pregnant

 

I read Taboo, so you don't have to.

Over the next few months I'm going to drip out midweek installments of Mike Novotny's Taboo. I do not recommend you read this book, and the posts here will help explain why.

This week we'll kick it off with a softball anecdote from the last chapter of the book:

"Earlier this year, I met a man who, along with his wife, worked for a pro-life ministry. He told me how they invited a young woman to stay in their guest bedroom while she got on her feet. But the girl liked to party and, one day, found herself pregnant."

*record scratch*

One does not go to a party and simply find herself pregnant like catching the common cold. This soft-pedalling of sin particularly when it comes to LGBTQ and women is pervasive throughout the book.
