Or so we can hope. Looks like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity has severed its ties to Planned Parenthood. Kudos to the brave ones! Expect those who are more concerned about aborting babies than curing breast cancer, however, to attempt an end run. Sure, they will say it is because of the breast screenings that Planned Parenthood does. Fact is, there are places women with no money can go for help with that – I know first hand. The real issue is that abortion is the foundation upon which the post-Christian progressive movement is based.
Think about it. Every day, in the name of this ‘progressive’ ideology, we hear more and more about how folks want the government to regulate this, that, and everything else (but sex). We need more regulations on what we eat, wear, drive, how we walk, talk, sleep, worship, think, believe, act, what foods we can have, how we raise our children, and any one of a million other restrictions. What idiot generation would comply with that? Well, there’s the meat and circus, the peace and bread. It’s sex, tons and tons of sex. Glorious, unadulterated, consequence-free, responsibility-free sex. Group sex, orgies, online pornography, threesomes, one night stands, three night stands, one night stands with three people, why the list goes on and on!
Of course there are STDs, and HIV/AIDS, but those mostly are ignored nowadays, or through billions of dollars of drugs and medications, we can reduce their effects. Birth control can reduce the chances of pregnancy, but there’s still a chance….a slight chance, that it can happen. This possibility of Woman having her social life, her financial future thwarted by nine months of carrying the result of one’s libido is too much of a threat, enough to make the fantasy promises of the progressive movement give at least most people cause to think.
And that’s where abortion comes in. It’s the safety net. The final score. The ultimate promise from our post-Christian progressives. Sure, most would prefer not to have an abortion. But that would somehow mean we have to restrain ourselves, think of others, and live a life of some measure of discipline and sacrifice. And we can’t have that in the post-Christian Utopia! So abortion is waved as the ultimate ‘don’t worry, just do it.’ Over a million a year, and the vast majority having zilch to do with dying mothers, raped girls, or deformed babies doomed to die. The vast majority there so that the mom can continue to jump on every Tom and Harry’s you-know-what while not letting the disease known as pregnancy interfere with the climb up the financial ladder.
Some have speculated that abortion, being a multi-billion dollar industry with all its sideline venues involved, is all about money. That Planned Parenthood, and others behind abortion rights, are in it for the money. I disagree. It’s about seizing our civilization and replacing it with tyranny that promises orgasms and drugs to a generation intoxicated on the promises of narcissism and hedonism. Make it illegal to make money off abortions tomorrow, and I can almost promise that the same who will launch assault after assault on the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity today, would do the same two days from now. It’s about the power to seize a civilization (and BTW, once the power is gained, expect the land of hedonism and narcissism to be reigned in just the same).
