Abortion killed entire generation of students, says candidate for university president

PUERTO RICO, May 5, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - There’s a troubling reason for the low number of domestic applications to major universities in the United States, says professor Krzystztof Silwa, a candidate for the presidency of the of University of Puerto Rico: the applicants have been killed.

“Do you know what is happening in the United States? In 1973, they established legal abortion. More or less 50 million abortions have been committed or done in the United States, which means that they have killed an entire generation in the United States,” Silwa told the university’s Search Committee, which is interviewing three candidates for the job.

“At the moment we don’t have students. We are asking for them to come almost on our knees,” he added.

According to Silwa, the shortage of students caused by abortion has led university administrators in the U.S. to try to fill the rolls from other countries.

“They have given everything to defend their positions.  To maintain their positions, for example, in one university they have brought 4,000 students from outside and that’s how they’re maintaining their positions.”

According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, Chinese universities are facing a similar problem, due to the nation’s plummeting birth rate, which has been brought about by massive abortion and contraceptive measures imposed by the government through its “one child policy.”

>> which resulted in an influx of illegal aliens

Yup, trading abortion for illegal labor. Been saying that for years now... well, I haven’t said it lately.

It may have been, but it was a practice not unique to Rome:

We can expect Krzystztof Silwa to now be hounded in academic exile....

I think one of the reasons TPTB want illegals here is to camouflage the fact that so many have been killed.

I think a bigger reason for illegal immigration is the PTBs' preference for humble, undemanding, starvable immigrant labor -- an appetite that has not changed since the 18th century, when indentured and convict labor and chattel slavery were the preferred sources of "workmeat". Nowadays, with labor imports constricted by law, the elites are sufficiently self-privileging and lawless that they bring people in illegally, flouting the laws they find inconvenient.

The reason for the shortage of college applicants, however, is due less to abortion, I think, that the simple refusal of UMC busy professionals to procreate -- contraception rather than abortion. I include myself, who was not attractive/attracted to the institution of laws and customs derogating fathers and catering to bra-burning, self-privileging termagants. I certainly didn't want a woman in my life who wouldn't even take my name, much less be inconvenienced by serial pregnancies. That lengthened the odds enough to ensure perpetual bachelordom "on the shelf". Mutatis mutandis, the country is littered with women who never had children, or confined themselves to just one voluntarily (sometimes ignoring husbandly and family entreaties -- after all, our bodies, our selves!), or even chose spinsterdom or lesbianism rather than put up with a (ugh!) man.

The immigrants came to get jobs. It is during the last twenty years when the “missing” generation”would have grown to work that the situation has got out of hand.

True. True. True. Not to mention the generations of fathers whose parenthood has been taken from them, the generations of mothers with vague sadness, the generations of children who know somewhere unacknowledged in their souls that their lives were not a blessing, but merely a choice. So sad it makes me want to cry.

There have been fifty million abortions. Add the compounding factor, and the general practice of contracreption and the “missing” amount to more than100 million. But all we need to do is look at Japan to see what happens when a counter commits itself to depopulation. The same thing is happening to the white and black populations. We don’t have the same nation we had in 1973.

It's certainly well over 100 million missing people because roughly half of those aborted would now be of child-bearing age and having children of their own.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe infanticide was one of the major contributing factors in the fall of the Roman Empire.

It has been argued but not proven that more-prosperous societies have lower birth rates, and people saying that point to Mexico's falling birth rate. Middle-classness, it is said, cuts off the poor person's drive to have many children -- which is, after all, partly an economic impulse.

In 18th-century and early 19th-century America, when pregnancies abounded, large families ensured many hands to do the farm labor and help ease later life for the parents. It was not uncommon for a traveler to be met, at the door of a back-country cabin, by a woman with nine children. "Poor man's Social Security" was invented eons ago. Prosperity eclipses that drive.

Infanticide and the Tophet were resorted to by people who feared they had too many children to feed -- or who feared that too many heirs would cause dissension and a relapse back into poverty for the family, when the family "nut" was divided up below the critical mass needed for investment income. That, it is said, is why the Phoenicians (and following them, the Carthaginians) began to "sacrifice" children to their gods, even at the expense of blackening their national name forever.

Add to this the fact that males are no longer going to college, that so many women major in “caring jobs” that add littlr to economi growth.

Yeah, and if this keeps up, somebody else will have it.

That's why the pukes at NALEO are licking their chops at the prospect of putting the gueros on the run -- even putting us on the boat "back to Europe".

They'd better look over their shoulders, though -- the Chinese are coming.

Right, but our population increase hasn't been driven mainly by immigration. The biggest "growth" in population by cohort is among the elderly.

Quite simply, our population is growing because people are living longer than ever before.

I know many republicans who are pro-abortion because they know that 30% of those aborted are blacks. OTOH, I know many blacks who also think that the abortion of blacks is OK, they say it’s the woman’s choice, go figure. The men are happy because they don’t have to pay child support.

Good for your young freedom fighter! And good for you!

Wish your young Teaperson were 25,000,000 strong, instead of the illegal immigrants Obozo is trying to get into the voting booth.

I agree with everything you said. Feminism is one of the most evil “philosophies” - it can’t really be called that - to ever influence large numbers of people. I told my story a number of times on FR about my introduction to “womens’ liberation” meetings in Berkeley 1968 or ‘69. I was invited by my room mate, a woman about 10 years older than me (friend of a friend etc to help spit the rent). The first two or three meetings were tolerable as the marijuana joints being passed around were enough to keep me occupied, and at that time, I was such a wild idiot I’d try anything.

But about the third meeting the screams and howls of rage and hatred for men and “patriarchy” followed by their avowed lust for other women penetrated my drug induced stupor and showed me what feminism is all about. Then, of course, after my “room mate” made sexual overtures to me, that was the final straw.

I knew even then, that feminism is Pure Evil. It has destroyed countless families, children, lives. It is beyond evil. I am truly sorry for the numbers of men who have been denied a real family and wife because of the disgusting and evil lies of feminism.

Regarding illegal immigration, I think there are many reasons “they” like it - cheap starvable labor, they got to give crap sandwich mortgages to them thus increasing the money flow, open borders means Other Than Mexicans can come in with the potential disruption, drugs can flow freely, thus enriching various banks with subsequent money flow to politicians, and tons of illegals messes up the social fabric, another plus to the Evil Ones in DC.

The entire edifice is so rotten I don’t see how it can be cured without - well, something that something isn’t just “well let’s elect better ones next time”. I think natural law may be an upcoming act.

Sometimes I might agree with that, other times I might reflect that rotten edifices, like the Roman Empire, might go on and on, for a very long time: from the corruption of Roman society beginning in 202 BC with the victory over Hannibal at Zama, down to the deposing of Romulus Augustulus, the last (puppet) emperor of the West in 476 AD, was 678 years. In Constantinople, the Empire lasted until 1453, another 977 years.

That all said, yes, sometimes I do feel like we're being consigned.

I've always assumed, based on your screen-name, that you were male. Was I wrong? And if not, what bothered you about these "overtures"?

Augustus Caesar sure thought that debauchery sapped the virtue of the upper class, his daughter being a case in point. BYW, the period from 1715 onwards saw a huge spike in the growth of the British colonies in North America. A large part of this was the rate of natural growth among both whites and blacks. The highest birth rate in our history, I think. The population was becoming acclimatized to the savage Anerican climate, and there was plenty of food. A growing and prospering population has a different dynamic than a stagnant one. The Indians were the only ones suffering—from diseases they could not overcome, but even they profited from the much increased trade. So, one can say that a population boom was a cause of the Revolution, because people were spilling over into the Ohio Country. George Washington are very, very aware of the dynamic—unlike many of the other Founders,and he was always acting on it. One of his great efforts wss to connect the Potomoc Valley with the Ohio Country. Only the lack of emgineering talent—and capital—and the terrain kept him from his goal. A very entrepeneurial spirit, Mr. Washington. Not until Jackson did we get such an expansionist minded President, although we have to give Jefferson credit. But unlike Washington or Jackson, he was not very physical in his efforts.

Actually until 1453. But not even Gibbon has succeeded in making the public aware how long Roman civilization lasted.

Trivia. Napoleon intended to make Constantinople his new capital, and of course dressed himself up like Augustus Caesar, to who he bore an astonishingly close physical resemblance.
