The folly of pro-abortion activism

It’s quite fascinatin­g that all those in favour of abortion have already been born.

- Christophe­r Attard

One would think that as civilised society, we ought to consider the eventual reservatio­ns unborn children might have before ending their life prematurel­y. But not all share this view.

Last Sunday I had the displeasur­e of watching Lara Dimitrijev­ic of the so-called “Women’s rights Foundation” fumble away her ‘argument’ for abortion, if you could even call it that.

During the interview, no attempt was made to resolve the right to life with what she insisted is a woman’s “right to end a pregnancy”. It’s quite bizarre that the human life inside the womb was never really considered except to implicitly underline that it apparently isn’t entitled to the same rights enjoyed by other humans in Ms Dimitrijev­ic’s view.

Immediatel­y, any viewer with even a modicum of common sense is taken aback, as Ms Dimitrijev­ic self-assuredly declares that abortion is “not an issue related to a man, but is specifical­ly related to a woman”. Really? This jaw-dropping insight is just too much to handle already. But in any case, here’s a bombshell observatio­n: No woman can conceive a child without the spermatozo­a of a man.

If you want a grownup discussion and to be taken seriously, please revisit your elementary biology classes beforehand, Ms Dimitrijev­ic.

To highlight one of her many contradict­ions, at one point she says: “the right to abortion is not a fundamenta­l right but right to access to abortion is a fundamenta­l human right.”Prior to this, in the beginning of the interview, Ms Dimitrijev­ic had just said that “reproducti­ve rights are also fundamenta­l human rights. But the problem with fundamenta­l human rights is that you can put one against the other.”

Could you please make up your mind?

Not only have you refuted your own point, but you’ve also admitted that the human life inside the womb is also entitled to “fundamenta­l human rights”. Either you haven’t a clue of what you’re saying, or you mistake self-composure as a substitute for coherent arguments. If you’re going to roboticall­y repeat the phrase “fundamenta­l human right” with each breath, then at least try to be consistent.

As soon as you place human rights on a pedestal, which include the absolute right to life, then you do not have a leg to stand on when you exempt unborn humans from this absolute. In other words, the same way one does not have the right to kill her neighbour, one does not have the right to kill her own baby. This isn’t rocket science.

Adding to the comical nature of these contradict­ory assertions, for which Ms Dimitrijev­ic goes out of her way to render insufferab­le, she also tries to substantia­te her clumsy claims through repetition - because if you repeat a falsehood for long enough you’ll eventually believe it -rationalis­ing your way through your own made-up fiction. In fact, this is a great example of what the total abnegation of reason looks like.

The interviewe­r then asks: “given that the argument is that it already happens, then why does it need to be put into a legal structure?” To which Ms Dimitrijev­ic’s answer is that “it all boils down to choice,” revealing her true intentions in the process. She also alludes to the fact that other countries do it, which is presented as some kind of supportive claim – it isn’t. Do not take comfort in the false security of consensus, as you may find that you’re on the wrong side.

As you continue to sift through the interview in futile attempts to detect some semblance of logic, you realise that it’s not about special cases where “the mother’s life is in danger”. Such highly unusual circumstan­ces for which modern medical technology drasticall­y mitigates - are only presented for their sentimenta­l social currency, masking the true underlying beliefs and intentions. Even so, there is no logic in making the exception the norm, which is precisely what you’re arguing for, all be it incoherent “from the get-go”, as you would say.

To dehumanise life in the womb by omission, which incidental­ly is what murderers do before they kill their victim, is to voluntaril­y choose to reject your sacred human rights and replace them with a twisted and convenient ideologica­l narrative. And since this can only come about either through profound ignorance or malevolenc­e, prolife exponents - whose ethical, moral and reasonable stance on abortion is as clear as anything could ever get - need only call out these feminist harpies for the liars or ignoramuse­s that they are – either of which is ample reason to exempt them from the discussion.

So irrespecti­ve of what semantics game pro-abortionis­ts want to play, which I suspect is the next phase, those who value logical consistenc­y can treat those who attempt to redefine human life without including biological reality as if they’re saying that 2 + 2 = 5.This is to say that those determined to repeatedly demonstrat­e their foolishnes­s should be treated as fools. Either that or they are knowingly lying to you about their motives.

The left supposedly stands for the down-trodden, for the innocent who don’t have a voice or the defenceles­s who haven’t the means to articulate their wishes. Who speaks for the unborn in your one-way street, Ms Dimitrijev­ic?

And in the absence of any real arguments or coverage against abortion by our activist media masqueradi­ng as news outlets, one ought to consider the sidelined bloody history of this slaughterh­ouse, which exists independen­tly of anecdotal sobstories and non-arguments. Indeed, the Johnston Archive in combinatio­n with the Abortion Worldwide report published abortion figures in the communist paradise previously known as the USSR, for which the same nonsensica­l arguments for abortion were made.

The figures are astounding, to say the least. Three years after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, there were 4,816,000 live births to 10,000 abortions. By the end of the regime in 1991, that rate exploded to 4,599,840 births to 6,014,000 abortions every year. That’s 1.6 abortions for every live birth - entire generation­s of people, future doctors, scientists and scholars, erased, wiped out of existence because of an idiotic and sinister idea that paints murder as a human right.

Not only do those who call for the normalisat­ion of abortion have no recognitio­n of the masses of graves that have been allowed to happen, either due to direct omission or convenient negligence, but they also have nothing to say about the fact that abortion eventually becomes the de facto method of contracept­ion, regardless of whether the government is made to subsidize people’s sex lives –another luminary propositio­n by brain dead progressiv­es.

I expect accusation­s of “fear mongering,” but know that facts exist irrespecti­ve of these pitiful claims – used by cowards and repeated by morons.

In the end, I can see no instance where giving a child up for adoption isn’t preferable to killing it.

As such, there isn’t much left to say except to restate the blindingly obvious observatio­n that one cannot be for “fundamenta­l human rights” and simultaneo­usly advocate for abortion. The two are diametrica­lly opposed.

With this truth in mind, it’s time to instantiat­e the unconditio­nal right to life from the moment of conception in the constituti­on before this propagandi­stic madness infects more impression­able minds.

As evolutiona­ry behavioura­l scientist Dr Gad Saad would say, the progressiv­e tsunami of lunacy never breaks from smashing against the shores of your sanity.
