From the point of view of an agnostic, abortion on demand-that being for the convenience of those who practice it and the avoidance of the burden of childbirth, is indistinguishable from and is the modern manifestation of human sacrifice. The ritual killing of human beings to foster an improvement in the fortunes of society has been a part of human history for at least five thousand years. It has been practiced by many cultures and continues to be practiced by contemporary peoples who have been conditioned to accept it as normal, natural and humane. Up until the latter half of the twentieth century human sacrifice was used sparingly on special occasions but it has since become developed on an industrial or even a planetary scale. Its primary function has evolved to be the controlled extermination of the poor for the greater good of societal progress. However modern human sacrifice (abortion on demand) has had some unpredicted and unintended consequences not the least of which is the genocidal effect on certain racial and ethnic groups who tend to dominate the demographics of the less well off. Nonetheless human sacrifice (abortion on demand) exists and will likely continue to exist as a governing mechanism to remove undesirable humans from the gene pool as it was intended to do by early supporters of its resurgence like Margaret Sanger.
It's a neo-pagan reversion to brutalism and decline in respect for human life, certainly. There is almost no justification for it given the wide-spread availability of birth control; it's an atavistic solution to a problem caused by mindless self-indulgence. If just can't say 'No' then go get your fricking tubes tied already.
If one can get past the emotional aspect of the observation it is crystal clear that Abortion on demand fits all the criteria for human sacrifice. It is the deliberate extermination of humanity to benefit humanity and it is sanctioned by the society. There is no way to get around it.
That is so ridiculous. Tell me. If an abortion is prevented, are you going to pay for its upbringing? Will banning abortion decrease starvation? Will it increase the dwindling supply of resources? No, no, and no. Abortion ban contributes to child abuse as it allows the unnecessary suffering of children born into disease, starvation, and pestilence.
The post makes no judgements. It just lays out an argument that it fits the criteria. If one can get past the emotional aspect of the observation it is crystal clear that Abortion on demand fits all the criteria for human sacrifice. It is the deliberate extermination of humanity to benefit humanity and it is sanctioned by the society. There is no way to get around it. Once it became underwritten by the state it satisfied the benchmark definition of human sacrifice with the state supplanting religion. It's a lethally pragmatic and efficient representation of human sacrifice and its aims are identical to all the historical examples
So you're a proponent of Eugenics too? Heil Hitler. - - - Updated - - - Sure does, and the altar is pure selfishness.
Just what we were missing today ..... another thread on abortion is murder ..... should we punish the abortion docs and the women who get abortions by executing them ?
They're breaking no laws. It's not about punishment. It's just drawing a parallel between abortion on demand and human sacrifice. The parallel cannot be escaped, it can only be glossed over.
Um........no! It is you OPINION, NOT fact. The facts are on my argument. Those who prevent abortion are condemning children to poverty and disease if they don't pay for the child's upbringing. They are not forced to have an abortion. It is choice, and a good one.
BS 'logic'; by that 'standard' gassing 6 million Jews was a great humanitarian act. Ridiculous, based on the bizarre assumption that all women getting abortions are forced into getting pregnant and men as well have no choices in whether or not to have sex in the first place. You have no 'facts', just an admission you don't believe in self-control and think mindless self-indulgence is an obligation. 'Freedom of choice' is now just a cult mantra involving a human sacrifice.
What you fail to comprehend is: PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEX ANYWAY, WHETHER YOU APPROVE OF IT OR NOT!! THERE WILL BE MULTITUDES OF STARVING, DISEASE INFESTED MASSES IF THE POPULATION IS NOT CONTROLLED!!!! Now do you understand?
Young women can't just "go get their tubes tied"...doctors won't perform the procedure. My sister went to doctor after doctor trying to get her tubes tied starting at age 25...she finally found a doctor who grudgingly did it when she was 38. A lot of young men have the same issue trying to get a vasectomy.
It is perplexing to me that people are so full of themselves they feel the opinions they hold should be used to guide the lives of people they will never know. The amount of nihilistic ego required is extremely unattractive...if not disgusting. While I understand the belief that a fetus is a person (and disagree), even if it were you will never know it either. Basically none of it is your business or effects you in ANY physical way, it will however deeply effect the stranger you force your opinions on because you "Feel" like it.
The thread makes no judgements. It merely points out that human sacrifice has been as still is part of human society.
Speak for yourself! Im perfectly capable of distinguishing between abortion on demand and human sacrifice. That doesnt mean I approve of abortion on demand, just that Im not an idiot. How would abortion on demand, and therefore entirely in the control of the individual women involved, work as any form of population control?
These are from her biography: Add to this the near total abandonment of her own children and it is clear she was not a figure sympathetic to the weakest factions of humanity. She was actually a believer that sacrificing unfit humanity for more fit humanity was acceptable and necessary.
So you admit she was against abortion her entire life EVEN FOR RAPE AND INCEST. If she was a nut then she was your nut.
