I loved Teddy!
I didn’t know this. Thanks for posting.
“To advocate artificially keeping families small, with its inevitable attendants of pre-natal infanticide, of abortion, with its pandering to self-indulgence, its shirking of duties, and its enervation of character, is quite as immoral as to advocate theft or prostitution, and is even more hurtful in its folly.”
TR completely nails it. Brilliant, insightful man.
TR saw things as clearly as President Trump does.
Great post
That is a rational view. Good for Roosevelt.
bookmark for later.
Theodore Roosevelt Considered Abortion ‘Pre-Natal Infanticide’
Perhaps he believed that because abortion is pre-natal infanticide.
“Have the present-day progressives who say they admire him ever read him?”
They only pick the parts of historical figures that fits their agenda. No different than only talking about the unifying words of the great speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King (Jr.)...rather than his personal life. Or the fervent Jew-Hatred of FDR. Things like that.
If not for TR, we wouldn’t have been involved in World wars 1 or 2. He’s the modern day founder of the Nature Nazi movement. All the while HE could kill all the game he wanted.
I will be using the term “Pre-natal Infanticide” more often now.
