The Case for Being Born
National Review ^ | May 12, 2019 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 05/12/2019 5:58:22 AM PDT by Salman

From radical feminists to radical environmentalists, the word has come down: Children are not the future, but the future’s enemies.

Why are pro-abortion activists such as Brian Sims so angry? Because they abhor the alternative.

Children, these were.

And that is what this is really all about.

The Left’s war on children is by no means restricted to the project of maximizing the scope of opportunity to surgically dismember them prior to birth, preferably at public expense. From radical feminists to radical environmentalists to academics and such mainstream figures such as Bill Nye, the word has come down: Children are not the future, but the future’s enemies.

I can make a strong case for it. I am glad I was, and I would recommend it for everyone who has a say in the matter.

lemson philosophy professor Todd May concludes that the disappearance of Homo sapiens “might just be a good thing.”

Leftards believe in the principle of the intrinsic value of nature. And since man is the destroyer nature, this leads the anti-man conclusion.

I can't help but think a good bit of this radicalization is aimed at Millenials. As your average aging Baby Boomer abortion lovers die off, they are also seeing Gen Xers not carrying that torch. So in their sick little heads they think the way to hook Millenials is with a "license to kill your accident" approach. I mean, seriously, no middle-age adults like this concept nor would they benefit from it.

The trouble with this radicalization for the abortion lovers is that, well, it ain't working. Millenials aren't all pod-eating snowflakes. The ones that are were in the bag in the first place didn't need convincing. Further, I've noticed many Millenials getting peeved at their stereotyping and are rejecting their brethren and becoming Deplorable. In addition, the Millenials are aging and as that happens they tend to become more conservative. Finally, the whole concept of killing a baby is so ghastly that most centrists choke on it.

This whole infanticide movement strikes me as a really bad movie that gets green-lit yet everyone is shocked when it bombs at the box office. Except in this case, the whole studio may wind up out of business. We can hope and pray.

We are seeing a phenomenon that has been studied in mice and rats.

Check out the Mouse Utopia Experiment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z760XNy4VM

This is not the best video, but does touch on some aspects of the pathologies that developed. At no time in these experiments did the mice or rats ever run out of resources. The issue was that they were crowded and could not form proper social structures. Their behavior became more aberrant over time, until none of the mice had the social skills or attitudes necessary for survival.

The left consists of individuals who are deeply sunk into this kind of pathology. Note that the majority of insane leftist behaviors originate in cities, where it is impossible to escape crowded conditions unless one becomes a recluse in one’s cramped apartment. Of course the left attacks children; they externalize their pathology. The left also wants to feed the pathologies, in their attempts to confine everyone into cities and deprive us of free transportation.

I think that the bottom line for the survival of humanity is to avoid raising children in cities, and stick to small towns as much as possible.

I think the pro-abortion movement is nothing more than a front for global Marxism with the aim of destroying the church and the breakdown of a judeo/christian society.

It has turned into an organic structure with no real goal except to bring like minded people on the left together to argue a point already argued and won in the supreme court. The left wanted a federal law and they got one. Now the states, rightfully so are making their own laws regarding abortion.

It seems ironic, that this is exactly what the left wants to do to change the second amendment by taking it to the states.

Thank you, but the optimism is based in part on facts and casual observations of the little DoodleBobs and their friends.

That said, it is easy to get down and weary with the opposition getting tactical air support from the MSM. Every now and then, a little help is needed....as The Who said at the Isle of Wight show around 2:30am in 1970, smile ya buggers...pretend it's Christmas!

The West, with the exception of the United States, is in demographic decline. This is a talk by geopolitics author Zeihan. His bit on demographics starts about minute 13.

This is just a part (big Part) of the eternal war between Satan and God through our Lord Jesus. And if we don’t fight for our Lord with all our Hearts and Souls than we shall definitely be “Left Behind.”

Excellent comparison, which I will look for an opportunity to use!

“Why are pro-abortion activists such as Brian Sims so angry? Because they abhor the alternative. Children,”

By extension, they abhor the human race. Their dream is to see humanity extinct. There is no lower form of life than one that seeks its own annihilation.

I loathe these people with a passion.
