For the Pro-Lifers

I was so impressed with my ridiculously long Facebook rant tonight, I had to post it twice, --and I think it would make a good framework for my thesis.


Funny thing, historical parallels, --like, for example how, right around the time the German imperialist politics were flourishing, Charles Darwin and Rudyard Kipling popularized eugenics, --the Germans (and the British) were focusing on breeding. Believe it or not, birth control is not as new as the Pro-Life fuckers want you to think, --abortion and birth control is NOT a sign of our times. Religious women have, for centuries, had abortions, practiced various forms of both safe, and extremely unsafe birth control methods. And back then, you were either Catholic or Protestant, and not much of the scripture was up for debate. 

The focus on breeding and birth control shifted heavily during pre-WWI when white people on a global scale were demonstrating their race superiority. Kipling suggested sending "the best ye breed" to continue colonizing global territory. Doctors and priests and all kind of people who had vague political and military ties were focused on convincing women to choose selectively and produce as many healthy children as possible. The big parallel here is that during pre-WWI eugenics focus, the Germans came up with the "three K's" --Kinder, Kuche, and Kirch... (children, kitchen, church) --the female domain. Propaganda apparently made it overseas, because right about the same time, a rather coincidentally titled organization came into existence. Pro-life is bullshit, created during imperialist geopolitical takeover over a century ago, enforced by fucking Nazis, and perpetuated today by deranged, uninformed Bible thumpers.

The idea that Pro-life politics were based on some deep-seated Christian need to protect fetuses and the right for unformed and undeveloped, non-cognitive life to survive inside women who don't want to give birth, is not Christian, and it is not scientific, and it was not established as sympathetic to children either, because they were a dime a dozen in that 19th century. It was established to make more white people, and send them all over the planet, to strip land from natives and locals. Sad but true. The two men mostly responsible for the pro-life bullshit we're familiar with today, Darwin and Kipling, men who thought all this up, postulating scientist assholes.... guess what? They were both fucking Atheists... Pro-life = Pro-stupid.
