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…”
Legacies of 1917 in Contemporary Russian Public Health: Addiction, HIV, and Abortion
“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.
