Abortion

They got to pay for it somehow to be able to do the good work.

So, Abortion and child sex trafficking.

Those are the two greatest evils, in my opinion, right now.

I mean, there's a lot of evils in our world and in our country, but those two are the top.

We want to support people who want to make sure that abortion rights...

We want to stop it, we want to make sure that staying six, I'm sorry,

is stopped.

We want to make sure that people have the right to life and we will vote for you in favour of that.

You know, I've had encounters.

We, we did a, um, Abortion is Human Sacrifice tour with Students for Life, and it was a very evil day, seeing the reactions and the way that people were acting towards us and the way that they talked to us.

And I think it just goes to show, um, the spiritual darkness that we're combating against, the spirits that we're combating against.

And, um, you know, God's gonna carry us through it, but He's showing us, and it's just something so much more darker and deeper than social media portrays it as.

says seneca we destroy monstrous births and we also drown our children if they are born weakly or unnaturally formed wives of romans however were relieved of much of the drudgery of child-rearing by the slaves which rome took by the thousands and brought home thus they were free to attain an advanced position and to become the advisers of their husbands in politics making and unmaking political careers when we come to look into the proverbial infanticide of the chinese we find the same positive indications that it grew out of the instinctive purpose of woman to free herself from the bondage of too great reproductivity in the poorest districts of china says westermarck female infants are often destroyed by their parents immediately after their birth chiefly on account of poverty though disapproved of by educated chinese the practice is treated with forbearance or indifference by the man of the people and is acquiesced in by the mandarins when seriously appealed to on the subject says the rev j doolittle in social life of the chinese though all deprecate it as contrary to the dictates of reason and the instincts of nature many are ready boldly to apologize for it and declare it to be necessary especially in the families of the excessively poor Here again the wide prevalence of that custom is the first and best proof that women are driven by some great pressure within themselves to accede to it.

If further proof are necessary, it is afforded by the testimony of Occidentals who have lived in China that Chinese midwives are extremely skillful in producing early abortion.

Abortions are not performed without the consent and usually only at the demand of women.

in china as in india the religions of the country condemned even as they to-day condemn infanticide both foreign and native governments have sought to make an end of the custom but in both countries it still prevails nor are these eastern countries substantially different from their western neighbors the record of western europe is summarized by oscar helmuth werner ph d in his book the unmarried mother in german literature infanticide says dr werner was the most common crime in western europe from the middle ages down to the end of the eighteenth century this fact of course means that it was even more largely practised by the married than the unmarried the married mothers being far greater in number another problem which confronted the church he says in another place was the practice of exposure and killing of children by legal parents a sort of final word from dr werner is this infanticide by legal parents has practically ceased in civilized countries but abortion its substitute has not how desperately woman desired freedom to develop herself as an individual apart from motherhood is indicated by the fact that infanticide was the most common crime of western europe in spite of the fact that some of the most terrible punishments ever inflicted by law were meted out to those women who sought this means of escape from the burden of unwonted children dr warner shows that in germany for instance in the year fifteen thirty two it was the law that those guilty of infanticide were to be buried alive or impaled in order to prevent desperation however they shall be drowned if it is possible to get to a stream or river in which they shall be torn with glowing tongues beforehand notwithstanding the fact that at one time in germany the punishment was that of drowning in a sack containing a serpent a cat and a dog in order that the utmost agony might be inflicted one sovereign alone condemned twenty thousand women to their death for infanticide without noticeably reducing the practice to-day in spite of the huge numbers of abortions and the multiplication of foundlings homes and orphans asylums infanticide is still an occasional crime in all countries as to woman's share in the practice let us add this word from havelock ellis taken from the chapter on morbid psychic phenomena in his book man and woman infanticide is the crime in which women stand out in the greatest contrast to men in italy for example for every one hundred men guilty of infanticide there are four hundred and seventy-seven women and he remarks later that when a man commits this crime he usually does it at the instance of some woman infanticide tends to disappear as skill in producing abortions is developed or knowledge of contraceptives is spread and only then one authority as will be seen in a later chapter estimates that the number of abortions performed annually in the united states at one million and another believes that double that number are produced Among the Hindus and Mohammedans, artificial abortion is extremely common, says Western Mark.

In Persia, every illegitimate pregnancy ends with abortion.
