Ohio Just the Beginning of Pro-Abortion Activists’ Ballot Measure Crusade

No Crusade

No Crusade because Jesus did not die on the cross in order to make it okay to murder babies.

Agree

“It was up to both sides to fight hard to convince them of the merits. One side engaged, one side has not”

Agreed

Convince your fellow Citizens.
Move to where you can live under the rules/laws you want.
That is how it’s supposed to be.

You have keyed into the correct demopgraphic.
Final 1/3 of boomers, steeped in the concept of “free love”.
I was there.
I seent it.

The Church (moral center) was sent packing as “old fashioned”.
Progessives.

“No Crusade it’s still a state issue they won’t be able to make the feds going back to foot the bill for their murders.

“They have their 15 minutes of fame for now.”

There hasn’t been an abortion funded by the federal government in 43 years.

The amendments will bring out Dems in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, three swing states.

Gallup, June 26, 2023:

U.S. church attendance has shown a small but noticeable decline compared with what it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. In the four years before the pandemic, 2016 through 2019, an average of 34% of U.S. adults said they had attended church, synagogue, mosque or temple in the past seven days. From 2020 to the present, the average has been 30%, including a 31% reading in a May 1-24 survey.

The recent church attendance levels are about 10 percentage points lower than what Gallup measured in 2012 and most prior years.

The church knows why but won’t lift a finger to correct it.

Orthodox doctrine.
The teachings of the Apostles.

What do you thing the state does with it’s money from the feds just pave roads.

Murder Inc. has feed lines also with bogus names.

Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court legislated a national right to abortion-on-demand-and-without-apology by judicial fiat. Now think of that number: 50. Two generations of Americans came to believe they had a constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy at any time and for any reason. Men and women were glad to have abortion as a backstop for sexual freedom.

Most opposed to abortion fail to understand that abortion itself has become part of the very fabric of American life. For the average American female, there are three rites of passage:

Loss of virginity between the ages of 14 and 18.
First abortion between the ages of 14 and 21.
Failure of first marriage between the ages of 21 and 30.

Shocked? People conversant with the morality of the Fifties would regard this sexual anarchy as a form of societal madness. But it has become part of the fabric of life. Marriage itself has changed as an institution. The stigma of divorce has vanished insofar as half of all marriages end that way. Multiple marriages during a lifetime are a normal fact of life.

Most arguments against abortion are based on strong religious belief. Catholics used to be the largest faith in America, but now Unbelief has replaced them as Number One. Unbelief is also the fastest growing “religion” in America. God the Hairy Thunderer has been replaced by God the Cosmic Muffin. It’s hard to make a religious argument when so many have put religion aside for a secular or so-called “spiritual” approach. Threats of retribution in an afterlife don’t work when so many reject that premise.

To end abortion, you need to convince people to end sexual freedom, erase the Sixties and return to an earlier, traditional frame of morality. That’s a hard sell. Once the sexual freedom cat is out of the bag, as a rule it doesn’t want to go back in.

Really excellent post. Thank you.

I was a small child watching the world turn from order to anarchy. It was almost like watching an eclipse, a cultural eclipse.

I was taught at (Catholic) church that babies and life were precious. At grade school I was taught that birth control was a boon for married women who otherwise would have out-of-control childbearing and too many mouths to feed, and interfere with her career, and besides the world was in danger of becoming overpopulated anyway. And then just prior to the Roe v. Wade decision, being taught that the sexual act was for “bonding” between the two parties and not just for reproduction.

Creepy.

Women used to enforce sexual morality on other women.

Now they encourage one another to ride the carousel in their 20s, marry late, then divorce for cash and prizes while playing the “strong independent woman” card.

That, together with several other items, has led to demographic collapse.

I can’t remember who said it, but the Republicans need to start showing videos of actual abortions.

I imagine networks have refused to air any such ads.

Imagine that ... something the left pushes SO hard for, is unable to be aired, on national tv.

I think we are fast approaching a time when people have to decide whether human life is sacred, or not. And I believe that will shake our society to the core.

An Indiana court ruled that even though fetuses are legally protected (”legal persons”, in the Roe v Wade terminology), Jewish women who sued have the religious right (under IN’s religious freedom law) to kill children in the womb because they said their religion requires it if it will make the woman happy. Similar cases are going on in FL right now with Satanists, and I think Jewish women are also suing in TN.

What that means is that it doesn’t matter whether the government protects you legally as a “legal person”. If somebody else’s religion says they should kill you, that is their “right”.

The WEF religiously believes that 90% of the population should be dead. Islamists believe all non-Muslims should be dead. Satanists want not only fetuses but also infants and young children to be sacrificed for their “lord”. Nazis believed Jewish human lives should be eradicated just like cockroaches, and for the same reason. Radical environmentalists concur for the whole human population.

At the end of all of this people need to decide whether the sanctity of life is worth upholding, or whether the law of the jungle is the best we can do. Either we are just animals and our death is nothing significant at all and we can expect no protections, or human life means something.

When every person realizes that at this people WE ALL are “fetuses”, people will wake up. If they’re not already all the way spiritually dead.

Until we reach that point, I agree with your assessment that each new generation of young people will expect to be feral cats and by the time they get burned and wise up it will be the next generation’s turn.

March 27, 1972

To the President and Congress of the United States:

I have the honor to transmit for your consideration the Final Report, containing the findings and recommendations, of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, pursuant to Sec. 8, PL 91-213.

After two years of concentrated effort, we have concluded that, in the long run, no substantial benefits will result from further growth of the Nation’s population, rather that the gradual stabilization of our population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to the Nation’s ability to solve its problems. We have looked for, and have not found, any convincing economic argument for continued population growth. The health of our country does not depend on it, nor does the vitality of business nor the welfare of the average person.

The recommendations offered by this Commission are directed towards increasing public knowledge of the causes and consequences of population change, facilitating and guiding the processes of population movement, maximizing information about human reproduction and its consequences for the family, and enabling individuals to avoid unwanted fertility.

To these ends we offer this report in the hope that our findings and recommendations will stimulate serious consideration of an issue that is of great consequence to present and future generations.

Respectfully submitted for the Commission,

John D. Rockefeller 3rd Chairman

President Nixon’s response https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/statement-about-the-report-the-commission-population-growth-and-the-american-future

Statement About the Report of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future May 05, 1972

THE Commission on Population Growth and the American Future has formally presented its report to me today, thus completing its 2 years of work. The men and women on this panel have performed a valuable public service in identifying and examining a wide range of problems related to population, and have contributed to an emerging debate of great significance to the future of our Nation.

I wish to thank the able and energetic Chairman of the Commission, Mr. John D. Rockefeller 3d, for his tireless efforts, not only on this Commission but in other capacities, to focus the Nation’s attention on these important issues.

The extensive public discussion already generated by this report clearly indicates the need to continue research in areas touching on population growth and distribution.

While I do not plan to comment extensively on the contents and recommendations of the report, I do feel that it is important that the public know my views on some of the issues raised.

In particular, I want to reaffirm and reemphasize that I do not support unrestricted abortion policies. As I stated on April 3, 1971, when I revised abortion policies in military hospitals, I consider abortion an unacceptable form of population control. In my judgment, unrestricted abortion policies would demean human life. I also want to make it clear that I do not support the unrestricted distribution of family planning services and devices to minors. Such measures would do nothing to preserve and strengthen close family relationships.

I have a basic faith that the American people themselves will make sound judgments regarding family size and frequency of births, judgments that are conducive both to the public interest and to personal family goals–and I believe in the right of married couples to make these judgments for themselves.

While disagreeing with the general thrust of some of the Commission’s recommendations, I wish to extend my thanks to the members of the Commission for their work and for having assembled much valuable information.

The findings and conclusions of the Commission should be of great value in assisting governments at all levels to formulate policy. At the Federal level, through our recent reorganization of the Executive Office of the President, we have the means through the Domestic Council and the Office of Management and Budget to follow up on the Commission’s report. The recommendations of the Commission will be taken into account as we formulate our national growth and population research policies, and our agency budgets through these processes for the years ahead.

Many of the questions raised by the report cannot be answered purely on the basis of fact, but rather involve moral judgments about which reasonable men will disagree. I hope that the discussions ahead will be informed ones, so that we all will be better able to face these questions relating to population in full knowledge of the consequences of our decisions.

Twenty seven months after Nixon’s response he was encouraged out of office and succeeded by Gerald Ford. One hundred twenty three days later the National Security Study Memorandum 200 otherwise recognized as the Kissinger Report was released, though not for public consumption; it was classified and shared only with those who had a need to know.

Seven days later Nelson Rockefeller assumed the role of Vice President.

If you are going to read that USAID pdf, and you should if you want to get an idea of what awaits was laid out between the lines, I suggest you start on the last page and work back.

Forty years later the Rockefellers were still celebrating.

The report’s summary was unequivocal. John D. Rockefeller III, the commission’s chairman, wrote in a submission letter on March 27, 1972, that “after two years of concentrated effort, we have concluded that, in the long run, no substantial benefits will result from further growth of the nation’s population, rather that the gradual stabilization of our population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to the nation’s ability to solve its problems.”

But shortly after receiving the report, Nixon rejected it. Nixon, concerned about his re-election, according to Rockefeller, bowed to political pressures, in particular vocal religious and conservative groups, and disavowed the report’s key recommendations.

Yet, Nixon won the election.

Rockefeller’s letter also noted that the commission had looked for but did not find any convincing economic argument for continued population growth. It called for an early end to further population increases, appealing to Americans to abandon their “ideological addiction to growth” and the outdated pro-natalist biases rooted in their social institutions. Even businesspeople on the commission supported the central, near heretical finding: “The health of our country does not depend on population growth, nor does the vitality of business, nor the welfare of the average person.”

Yeah, how's that illegal population growth working out for US lately? Read from that population growth link...Chapter 11 you'll find:

In order to implement this policy, the Commission has formulated the following recommendations that are developed in detail in the remainder of this chapter:

The elimination of legal restrictions on access to contraceptive information and services, and the development by the states of affirmative legislation to permit minors to receive such information and services.

The elimination of administrative restrictions on access to voluntary contraceptive sterilization.

The liberalization of state abortion laws along the lines of the New York State statute.

Greater investments in research and development of improved methods of contraception.

The commission also said that population growth is a major factor affecting domestic demand for resources and the deterioration of the environment. Slower population growth would reduce pressures on the environment and the depletion of resources as well as gain time to find solutions to the nation’s problems.

I don't remember any problems back in 1970 that matches the screwed up country we live in now

The commission confronted other explosive issues. It recommended decriminalizing abortion, removing legal barriers to obtaining contraceptives, providing sex education in schools, freezing legal immigration to no more than 400,000 a year, stopping illegal immigration, approving the Equal Rights Amendment and ensuring freedom from discrimination based on sex.

They got four out of seven on the books and the bonus of the introduction of 'wokeness' with the ERA passage. The other three...meh!

The group dismissed charges that it would have the government tell citizens how many children they could have. Its aim was freedom of choice, under which “it would be equally honorable to marry or not, to be childless or not, to have one child or two, or more. Our goal is less regimentation of reproductive behavior, not more.” Although the report and its recommendations were rejected, some of the suggestions came to fruition later. In 1973, Roe v. Wade decriminalized abortion. Most states dismantled laws restricting contraceptives and expanded sex education in schools. And much progress has been made on banning sex discrimination.

Notable demographic changes, of course, have occurred in the country since the 1972 report. America’s population has expanded by more than 100 million, to 313 million. Average fertility has declined close to the replacement level of about two children for each family, and teenage pregnancy is at its lowest level in 40 years. Legal immigration has increased nearly threefold, to about 1.1 million a year, and the number of people living illegally in the US is more than 11 million.

The Oligarch Game Plan. Who is going to question the morality of them stealing freedom from US one stinking lyin lie at a time? You want people with grit to back down from their beliefs because it threatens a Republican victory? I dislike democrats intensely, they're scheming manipulating deniers of God; I don't want them in power at all. But somebody convince me Republicans are attack dogs for what we want not what the oligarch bosses demand from US.

Yet the US still has no population policy. Given the November presidential election and the political climate in Washington, it seems doubtful that Congress will address population issues, especially immigration reform, soon. When the government does begin to debate population policy again, it will be useful to consider demographic realities, future population projections and likely environmental costs. Even with replacement fertility, the US population is projected to exceed 400 million by midcentury. Most of the growth is a result of immigration by migrants and their descendants.

Such bullchit they've been dealing US.

Embracing the traditional pro-growth ethic that “more is better” is as unacceptable now as it was decades ago.

Unless you're one of them.

Congress, the president and the public should give serious consideration to the Rockefeller Commission’s recommendation that no major benefits will result from more population growth and that gradual stabilizing of the US population through voluntary means would help significantly to solving American problems.
