The Calculus Of Abortion

[PoliticalChic]

1.Antonio Gramsci, Italian Marxist theoretician and founding member and one-time leader of the Communist Party of Italy. Gramschi’s motto is that of liberals today: “that all life is "political."

And so is death: abortion is a political question as much as it is a moral one.

And there is an interesting mathematical component that should not be overlooked.




2. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Thomas Jefferson.

And based on the above, every conservative, every real American, is pro-life.



3. For Democrats/Liberals/Progressives, the central idea goes back to the early 20th century:

"We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life." Leon Trotsky





4. Now, the mathematical calculation.

In this country we calculate the slaughter as:

TOTAL ABORTIONS SINCE 1973:
59,115,995

Based on numbers reported by the Guttmacher Institute 1973-2014, with projections of 926,190 for 2015-16. GI estimates a possible 3 percent under reporting rate, which is factored into the overall total. [1/17]

5. But this may be cheating the Left of the full benefits or value of their policies.

Their predecessors, the Soviet Bolsheviks were wayyyyy ahead: “the Soviets legalized abortion on demand in 1920…”

“In 1920, Russian Soviet Republic became the first country in the world to allow abortion in all circumstances,…” Abortion in Russia - Wikipedia


An estimated 1 million abortions in the early years of Soviet Russia Historical abortion statistics, Russia




6. The question is whether to combine the Bolshevik numbers with those accumulated by America’s Democrats/Leftists…..based on the same view of human life.

"We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life." Leon Trotsky

….and, a purist might argue, add in the well over 100 million adults communists slaughtered during the last century.
Surely, they’ve earned the title of Slaughterers Par Excellence!




7. And speaking of that low level of consideration for human life…..

Did you know that during WWII, the Bolsheviks killed more Russians than the Nazis did?

World War II left over 27 million Soviet citizens dead....but only a fraction of them were killed by the Germans. Yet throughout the West. 'war crimes' is a phrase only attacked to the Nazis. When the Red Army marched, an NKVD army marched behind, with its own tanks, machine guns, firing forward....never allowing retreat. More than a million Soviet citizens joined the Nazis. Ask yourself this: why was it that the USSR, of all the Allies, had provided the enemy with thousands of recruits? Nearly one million Russian and other anti-Soviet men joined the enemy of their Soviet Army. "The Secret Betrayal" by Nikolai Tolstoy, p. 19-20.

We shouldn't be surprised that our Bolsheviks are of the same view.

Abortion also reduces the number of liberal and their treatment in polite society.

What an interesting point, willie.....

And not just abortion/infanticide reducing their future numbers....

1. Overall, conservative non-hispanic white women have 26% more children than liberal white women, a sizable difference.
   
   The very conservative have 45% more kids on average than the very liberal….Let us assume that if you have conservative parents, you become conservative with 70% probability and liberal with 30%, and vice-versa. With this number if you start off equally divided between liberal and conservative (there are more of the later, but many moderates are really liberal who don't want to admit it) in 1 generation the right will be 10% larger than the left.

2. a much broader and little-noticed demographic trend that has deep implications for the future of global culture and politics. It's not that people in a progressive city such as Seattle are so much fonder of dogs than are people in a conservative city such as Salt Lake City. It's that progressives are so much less likely to have children.

It's a pattern found throughout the world, and it augers a far more conservative future — one in which patriarchy and other traditional values make a comeback, if only by default. Childlessness and small families are increasingly the norm today among progressive secularists. As a consequence, an increasing share of all children born into the world are descended from a share of the population whose conservative values have led them to raise large families.

Today, fertility correlates strongly with a wide range of political, cultural and religious attitudes. In the USA, for example, 47% of people who attend church weekly say their ideal family size is three or more children. By contrast, 27% of those who seldom attend church want that many kids.

In Utah, where more than two-thirds of residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 92 children are born each year for every 1,000 women, the highest fertility rate in the nation. By contrast Vermont — the first to embrace gay unions — has the nation's lowest rate, producing 51 children per 1,000 women.

By Sam Ward, USA TODAY

Similarly, in Europe today, the people least likely to have children are those most likely to hold progressive views of the world. For instance, do you distrust the army and other institutions and are you prone to demonstrate against them? Then, according to polling data assembled by demographers Ron Lesthaeghe and Johan Surkyn, you are less likely to be married and have kids or ever to get married and have kids. Do you find soft drugs, homosexuality and euthanasia acceptable? Do you seldom, if ever, attend church? Europeans who answer affirmatively to such questions are far more likely to live alone or be in childless, cohabiting unions than are those who answer negatively.

This correlation between secularism, individualism and low fertility portends a vast change in modern societies. In the USA, for example, nearly 20% of women born in the late 1950s are reaching the end of their reproductive lives without having children. The greatly expanded childless segment of contemporary society, whose members are drawn disproportionately from the feminist and countercultural movements of the 1960s and '70s, will leave no genetic legacy. Nor will their emotional or psychological influence on the next generation compare with that of people who did raise children.

We shouldn't be surprised that our Bolsheviks are of the same view.

Speaking to radical collectivism in general when the collectivist is isolated from the collective he or she tends to struggle greatly with the ideology of moral relativism and its resultant rotten fruit. That being said, also seems to me no matter what appeal to the preservation of human life and dignity we make, the collectivists will denounce and dismiss, so long as a handful or more of their fellow indoctrinators remain to hold their hands and walk them through the real, unmasked horror of snuffing out a child's life with words of reassurance that's normal and natural. After a society or the dominant ideology thereof has succeeded in reducing the value of even the most innocent, defenseless and dependent upon nurturing stage of human life, then no human life at all will have worth. With the popularity of abortion, none of our lives have social or civilizational meaning and any one of us could be next on the list of undesirables to be terminated by choice; by someone else's choice.

You can't prove that only Democrats get abortions.

Not all conservatives are against a woman’s right to choose. Sorry.

 

[Moonglow]

I had four kids that is enough I can't be raising kids when I am a senior, and I am secular...

 

[PoliticalChic]

Aren't you lucky that conservatives don't demand the sort of lock-step mindless agreement that the other side demands?

I've made my argument.....you're free to produce another.

 

[william the wie]

Freakonomics is a very good site for such non-obvious goods and services. So, yeah the liberals have been slowly but surely destroying their base since the 70s.
