20 Percent
Fun fact of the day: A baby has a functioning brain, nervous system and closed circulatory system, and is therefore cognitively independent, that’s pain-feeling and spatially aware at 5-6 weeks, about the time most women find out they are pregnant. See here. Because of Roe v. Wade, even government websites will play that fact down for political reasons, but it is ultimately impossible to deny the basic truth.
Is that hard to swallow? Does that make you flustered in your political views?
Bonus fun fact: The facts stated herein will get far less attention than Candace Payne’s Chewbacca Mask.
Try this: As opposed to other countries that do not have access to modern birth control and populations in the BILLIONS of people (that means countries with real population and wealth problems), the US with only a few hundred million people is currently number four in therapeutic abortions. Ironically, India, one of the poorest and most densely populated areas of the world has one of the lowest. Wonder why that is?
Last year 16000 people died as a result of violence, and one million people died in medically unnecessary abortions. That means in America, right now, the person most likely to murder you is your own mother. And by the way that’s by a ratio of 35:1. You should congratulate yourself right now, for you have already survived the deadliest time in any person’s life; before you were even born, and barring any medical complications factoring in, you were 50 percent likely unwanted, and 20 percent likely to be killed as a result of just not being wanted by your own parents.
We don’t want to think about the consequences. Of course, that’s why we do it. We don’t want to think about the consequences on our society as a whole either, much less that that part could even matter, or that it really even affects us.
So let’s apply the stats. Here are the facts on abortion; you’re not going to like it. These numbers mean, to you and me, that for any of us growing up in a household of four, our parents almost certainly murdered one of our would-be siblings. That’s the statistics. That is the prevalence of the abortion industry. The prevalence of their lies is such that if you have siblings, you likely have a dead one.
Is that a tough truth? Not sorry. We should be sorry, but not for saying something.
Here it is again. Let’s hope it sinks in some more; If you are alive, right now, and living in America, then there is an all to high likelihood that your parents murdered your brother or sister. 20%, to be exact.
Yes. You should be offended. If you’re angry at me, then at least reflect on the fact that you never let it affect you until now, did you?
The numbers are ridiculously easy to find. You probably just didn’t know, or care, enough to want to know.
Does that affect you? Does that affect your sense of things? Your view of society and those around you, close to you even?
We don’t want to think about the consequences, but we should.
More than all disease and war put together, the deadliest thing in the world today is the simple, common lie that the baby doesn’t deserve protection from harm because, “it’s only tissue.” That means that in the last century an estimated 900 million are missing from our world’s history and it is because people simply want to have sex and not think about the consequences. Not because of rape, but because we use the technology of birth control, not to enable ourselves to be more responsible with life, but less so.
That’s right. Hate me but it’s true. Since the advent of birth control, and since Roe v. Wade, people have not more sexually responsible, but less, so much so, that this single aspect of the moral state of our society, the U.S. impending inability to outpace the death rate is singlehandedly accounted for. Right now, medicine advances have allowed for more healthy births, and longer lives than ever. Despite that it is the best time to be alive, non-medical abortions hit an all time high of 1,000,000 last year. We are aborting more than ever. The wealthiest poor in the world, the best quality of life in history, and we are right now so irresponsible with life that we despite all this are not facing a population boom, but a population crash.
The fact is, our supposed “modern” values are more barbaric in their complacency and willful, even consecrated ignorance, than Hitler ever had the time to be. Hitler systematically murdered six million Jews over the course of a half-decade. Last year alone, therapeutic abortions, that is, abortions committed for the ‘financial or social health and well being of the mother,’ are responsible for 100,000,000 deaths worldwide. That’s more people in one year, every year, murdered for convenience than the entire course of Word War 2.
Well, what about women who are raped and get pregnant as a result? That’s less than one percent of the argument, by proportion a non-issue. By a massive, massive majority, most of us just want to have unprotected sex, and would rather do away with the unintended ‘consequences.’
My body, my choice. That’s the supposed iron-fortress defense. Well. If 99 percent of women were actually concerned about their bodies, they wouldn’t be having unprotected sex, as a result of valuing themselves and their bodies in the first place. And if the overwhelming majority of abortionists were truly concerned about the preservation of their personal liberties, then they would immediately be confronted with the cognitive dissonance of taking away the liberties, indeed, the life of another in order to do it. Roe v Wade increased the number of abortions by over 100 percent overall, it didn’t just correct for the number of unsafe abortions occurring at the time. If it were about well-being, why did we start having, and that means spending not just more but WAY more, on abortions, despite the lack of change in price? It’s because now people an get away from consequence. The most expensive option no matter what, after all, is actually preserving the life we create.
Instead, abortionists, play up the necessity of medically-unnecessary abortions. Instead, we treat the process of conception as if it were this crazy, whackadoodle thing that no one sees coming, and that they never imagine happening all the while we allow for a culture of increasing ‘sexual freedom,’ almost as if we as a generation, categorically forgot to ask our parents where babies come from when we were little. We don’t want to think about the responsibility that comes with having a ‘choice.’ We have forgotten that liberty necessarily means the assumption of the responsibility for the consequences of said choices. We have forgotten that there even are consequences. Why wouldn’t we, when we could pretend it’s not real people dying, and just throw it away?
A wise person once said something to me that has stuck with me ever since; “History has shown, if you can convince a society that a person or group of people is even just a little bit less than, or other than, human, you can justify doing just about whatever you want to them.” That was what Hitler told the Germany about Jews. That they weren’t really totally human. They were lower life-forms. More like rats. Google the term ‘Jew-rat.’ That’s what it meant. Portraying a sector of population as inferior so as to do away with them. That rational self-interest was how Hitler did it, and it’s the same thing we tell ourselves about the baby in the dumpster, well, it was a lie just as it is a lie now. That person lying dead in the trash can in the abortion clinic right now was a person, no less no more, believe it or not.
It is medieval logic that babies are not alive until they pass beyond the vaginal wall, as if it were some magic spell that is cast by the doctor that somehow transubstantiates the ‘fetus’ from a ribeye into a person, like some kind of World of Warcraft spellpack, like it’s some kind of mysterious Frankensteinian defiance of the laws of physics and biology that makes life happen, rather than as a result of them.
And even if it were true, to end life for the sake of the financial well being of someone who had their chance, and decided they wanted to make poor decisions in life instead, is an insult to both. To even imply that such a thing is the responsible thing to do is a travesty.
Furthermore, the act of it cheapens the human race. To say that one should rather take life away from another than preserve it if doing so should ‘save a little money’ shows the most damningly where the heart of this generation really is about the value of human life. The truth is, we only value it as far as we can throw it, literally. That means for all our liberal sensibilities, we very often only care about our own children as far as we are forced. We claim to be the most socially aware generation. But we are really the generation with the most technology and opportunity to promote the value of human life, and instead we say that all things being equal, given the choice to assume either that A. a child’s life, even if only in the future, is worth more than the money I would otherwise have for not having to raise it, or B. a child’s life is worth less than the money I would have, and I will choose b, out of some sick sense of ‘social conscience.’ Bull. Abortion is an affront to humanity as a whole to even have the mind debased enough to ask it.
Not that I would ever condone such a thing, but the rate of back-alley abortions performed before Roe v. Wade is far dwarfed by the number of abortions per-capita afterward. Proponents and websites, like the Guttmacher Institute paint pro-abortion laws as the lesser of two evils, while conveniently forgetting to list or comment on any current statistics. Quite simply, the number of abortions per pregnancy pro-RvW was less than 1 out of 10. It is now outpacing 2 out of 10. Since RvW, abortions have doubled.
The new antibiotics available to women was the cause for the near total elimination of mother-deaths in abortions, and this happened before RvW, not after, or as a result of. So the idea that RvW protects women is taking advantage of historical serendipity.
It may seem harsh to put things in such plain terms, but I think it is more harsh that we have used these developments to have more abortions, not less. So, according to RvW the only thing that is really substantial to say is that we simply believe a clean, cheap death is better than a dirty one. And that we value it so much more, that we buy it at twice the rate, at actually about the same price.
Quite simply, before Roe v Wade, we were dirty humans, and after Roe v Wade, we have become clean animals.
We actually take it further. We look at the science and say, “It’s probably 99.99 percent fact that the thing in my stomach will turn into a slightly different version of me, and is probably 98-99 percent chance of factuality that it was alive from the moment I began to actually sense it inside of me. But in the spirit of ‘social awareness,’ I’m going to go off the one percent, and assume it’s not just in case, and opt to do the most barbaric thing I can to it, if the opposite of my deliberate and willful assumptions. Barring absolute and total knowledge, and against actual sense and probability, I shall opt to assume the least decent thing, and commit to kill it for my convenience, never-mind that I am here as a result of my own actions. I shall punish another.’
But abortion helps with population control…right? Wrong. In America there is literally no population problem. There is nothing to control. And we are the world leaders. It’s not even an argument. 90 percent of Planned Parenthoods are still in other than white neighborhoods, so that might be true if you are a racist, or a social darwinist like Margaret Sanger. That’s the reason she put them there, and it’s the reason they are still there. Indeed, population control.
We could control the population problem by being a responsible generation and bringing children into the world when it is possible to do so for us financially, and treating sex and family like the beautiful and sacred thing that they are, but instead we kill. And it is those in our society who most claim to cherish peace, love, unity, and life, that preach maiming and murder innocent children at a pace that the Assyrian army could not keep up with. We have not advanced as a society. We have not become more socially responsible. We have only directed our medieval barbarism toward those we can keep the most quiet. We have found something that is helpless and innocent enough that we can truly silence. Nevermind that it is our own children.
Proponents of abortion care nothing for decency, for human life, for social reform, and nothing for freedom. Proponents simply think it saves money; that is what it is really about, for the abortion industry as well as the individuals it serves. It’s got nothing to do with morality or ethics. The last defense, and actually the first defense that abortionists often employ is that it saves money. Well, I’ll give that murder often does.
That’s true.
But we are murdering our children. If we can’t see the cost in that, it is a result of the loss of our own moral fiber. Inability to see the worth of a human life, a soul over a savings account is actually the most telling clue to the depravity and inhumanity of the abortionist position.
What is right, what is responsible, however is just about always inconvenient.
The facts are such, that proabortion law had nothing to do, and will continue to have nothing to do with women’s health. Concurrent medical advancements and social programs outside of the provisions of RvW are what made pregnancies safer for women and child rearing in poor areas more possible, and that would not change if we opted to erase this obsolete law and tell the world that we will no longer stand for the illusion that we must, as a race, choose any more between the lesser of two evils. RvW is obsolete, and it has become an anachronistic excuse for people to be selfish and inhuman.
Roe v Wade could be said on some level to have been a damage control law, meant to give women a safer and healthier option. That’s a half-truth, and that’s why it only half succeeded. What it succeeds in now is facilitating on an individual level, a pathetic excuse for consecrated murder, and at a national level, aid the U.S. in the same moral population spiral and economic, social, and moral crisis that the rest of the political west is currently facing, because those countries corrupted the family concept a few years before we did, and we followed suit like the blind leading the blind.
India, by comparison, has almost no medical care, no money, yet they have just about the lowest divorce rate and lowest abortion rate in the world.
They are a poor, disadvantaged, and overpopulated society, and they are still clean humans.
The supposed medical dangers to women are really no longer present in our society and it is not because of pro-abortion law. Nor are economic dangers, population dangers, or concern for the poor even an argument. That’s just political rhetoric.
Personal financial convenience, the only supposed argument left, is no excuse to kill.
We can do better, we need to do better. We need to take responsibility for our humanity.
We need to wake up.
