If You Can’t Put A Name On Evil, You Should Expect It To Never Go Away

So just how bad is abortion? Fair question. Let’s engage. Does it pervert the practice of medicine? Is it Genocide? Does it devalue human existence? You don’t need an Or Statement here. Embrace instead the healing power of “And.” Abortion does all three of the things I suggested and is therefore an intolerable affront to decency and civilization.

Abortion is only tolerated by what Aldous Huxley once referred to as cynical realism. Like the proposed statue of Satan in Oklahoma; abortion is a clear and unambiguous argument that the American People may no longer have any meaningful commitment to basic decency. This drives the brave and morally courageous to gather in protest on the 41st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

Abortion has stained and perverted some aspects of the practice of medicine. On a practical level, it has lead to the continued operation of “Women’s Health Clinics” that display a level of care and sanitation that had previously been banished with the adoption of modern sterile techniques of medical practice. On a legal level, the desires of some to make abortions widely available has lead to widespread violations of laws protecting female minors.

Abortion has a sordid and underreported history as a eugenic tool. When you practice eugenics through subtraction, you basically have to resort to genocide. The Economic Whiz Kids who brought us Freakonomics took time out of their busy research day to inform us that aborting the right kind of children reduces crime in America. You could even clean up Mordor if you just got rid of the gosh-darn Orcs. A man named Kermit Gosnell put that ethic into ruthless practice in Philadelphia, PA and thereby became a coalmine canary for what was happening in at abortion mills all over America. I described the obvious racial skew in abortions performed below.

The New York State Department of Health reports that in 2008, almost 50,000 out of 118,000 abortions were performed on African-America unborn children. 54,000 out of the 118,000 pre-birth assassinations were directed at White unborn children. Assuming that New York State more or less “looks like America”, and that American demographics didn’t undergo watershed transformation in 2008, there is an obvious disparity between population proportion and numbers of abortions taking place in America today. 42.3% of New York State’s abortions involved a racial cohort representing 12.4% of the population. Less than ½ of the abortion procedures (46%) involved white children.
