At the core of attack on the family is the sexual revolution, and the sexual revolution requires abortions in huge numbers. The malformation of morality this causes is similar to that which was caused by slavery as noted by Lincoln on August 21, 1858:
I hate [indifference to slavery] because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world-enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites-causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty-criticizing the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.
Common evils cast large shadows.
Yes. It first started w abc, which they had to change the definition of beginning of life to approve in some Christian denominations.
That’s bc one property of abc is to prevent implantation- abortion.
Slavery is based on the notion than human beings are property.
Abortion is based on the notion that human beings are property.
Satan’s lie is the same in both cases.
And it is the godless Democrats who in BOTH cases embrace the lie wholesale.

When one considers the final cost of the culmination of slavery, the cost of atonement for abortion will be truly Armageddon writ large.
Lucius: yes. When a woman says she has the right to do whatever she wants with HER body, she’s not talking about her own kidney. She’s talking about the body she “owns” while the baby is in utero.
As to which institution is worse, I have met many descendants of slaves, not one descendant of an aborted person. Destruction unto the generations.
A chastisement is coming.
Filicide is not healthcare.
You need to take it a step further back- the sexual revolution (free sex, feminism, contraception, abortion) is a propaganda tool to reduce the population. Besides that’s been the intent all along. Facilitated through governments and public policy, it is ultimately driven by the elite. Climate Change advocates have the same population control end-goal. Socialism has the same population control end-goal. These have all emerged in the beginning of the 20th Century and taken full-steam onwards.
Abortion is far worse, and its damage to the moral fabric of society is far worse. A slave could conceivably be treated humanely, and could conceivably be allowed some small measure of liberty. An aborted child is dead, period. And a society can recover from the bad effects of slavery, but when it kills its children, that society is dead, period.
Guy: thanks for the link, I just ordered Aunt Thommie’s Cabin and the Key.
I recommend Andrew Klavan’s podcast from this past Friday, “They’re Coming for Our Children”. The whole thing is worth listening to, but his final chapter on the OT and abortion is extraordinary.

Philosopher Peter Kreeft, having spent untold hours arguing with pro-Abortionists, says the only real conclusion he has come to regarding their blind commitment to abortion is that it is “back-up birth control,” notwithstanding how obviously irrational as that is their answer.
Guy McClung, I posted your link on my FB Timeline. Thanks!
Steve – well they’re liars because they are “marketing” it as not birth control. They portray it as an “emotional and difficult decision for a woman” which is “rare and not taken lightly”. The numbers speak for themselves and they indicate that it is nothing short of birth control. And we all know what birth control serves to do—control the population numbers.

Birth control is meant to be the tool to stop the consequences for men & women who have sex outside of marriage. It replaces God who allowed the conception to take place with the gods of the woman & the abortionists—who shake their fist in the face of God and in effect tell Him that they will not submit to the natural consequences of their sin.

Well, yes from the point-of-view of those participating in the behaviour.
But for government in conjunction with Big Pharma its purpose was always about controlling population numbers. It’s intentionally marketed as
sex with no consequences, reducing the need for people to engage in sex in a committed marital union, intended to bring children into the world….in order to reap the results of lesser babies (ie. humans) in the world.
The birth control advocates couldn’t give a damn about freedom from consequence, women’s liberation or the people they are “freeing”. There is a purpose and intent to the birth control agenda. It’s about control.
